Actually, Zombies use a very sophisticated ( for the undead anyway) array of senses to locate prey, at least in the beginning stages of infection.
First, all senses are employed. Vision, hearing, smelling, and touch ( feeling vibration ). As the disease progresses, vision is the first to go because the eyes are soft tissue and decompose faster than the skin or bone. This is generally considered Stage 1 Decomp and lasts well into the third week . Touch and the sense of smell are lost in Stage 2 Decomp usually 4 to 6 weeks after infection. Stage 3 Decomp leaves our friends and neighbors quite hairy, quite rotten, quite stinky, and quite capable of tracking you down for miles with there sense of smell. Stage 3 can last up to 12 weeks. There are many variables associated with these facts but as you can see, an epidemic of worldwide population, based on a slow rate of infection, could keep us Raptor owners no matter what color, on a glorious full on assault for at least a couple of years.
Happy hunting!

That was a misprint, I hope I have not given anyone false hope. Its the sense of hearing that is the last to go. They can detect sound and large or loud vibration up to 12 weeks after infection.
