I don't shoot to kill any more, but I still hunt like my kids are hungry. Seriously, watch the way most folks walk down the street, they show little self awareness. They swing their arms too much, their shoulders sway from side to side, and they turn their head back and forth. An exaggerated cartoon stalking effort is just as bad.
You will most always get spotted, birds and animals are good at that, but you can't look like a threat.
A lion likely stalks 5 antelope, for each one he catches.
Great pic, as always! We have the great blues here, not sure about the littler ones.
You’re so right about people being unaware. I grew up on a farm, have a sixth sense about animals—I think that comes from not wanting to get caught by the bull, or the stallion that bites, or the mama pig with piglets. LOL :)
My guys all hunt, and it’s amazing to watch them move. Fluid. Completely still when they need to be—most of the time the animals pay no attention to them. It’s amazing to me how you can “become one with the animals.” Sounds stupid, but if they don’t perceive you as a threat, you can get incredibly close.
Hey, SS, please add me to your ping list! Thanks!
