It's a mistake to think that wild animals are going to cut us any slack simply because we are human, nature doesn't work that way. Our big brain doesn't impress a predator one damned bit but you can teach them what the smell of powder residue in a gun barrel means.
Predators can learn more about you from your smell than most people even vaguely understand.
I bred and hunted with Beagles for years, the things they could pick up with their sense of smell was mind boggling. You have to experience it to believe it.
My Labs are interesting to watch in and around the property as well.
But my Doxie is like a CAT scan.
I should clarify CAT scan as in the diagnostic medical device.
Somewhere, in my gigabytes of stored stuff, I have a paper that examines why wolf attacks are more common in Russia than in the Canadian/US area.
The researchers concluded that it was due to the rarity of individual firearms ownership in the USSR era (70+ years) that contributed to the much bolder behavior and predation by wolves in Russia. In the US/Canada, most wolves have had a fear of man bred into them - contact with man => death by gun.
Thanks to the tofu-nibblers, they’re starting to lose that fear in the US.
