Default RE: HARD TO KILL

Ok, this maybe hard to believe but where I go on scouting trips the wild sheep and deer don't mind people unlesspeople leave the walking trails....you can actually look at them from about 50 yards ( if you know where to look )but once you leave the trail for more than a few yards they dash off to higher ground or thicker scrub.
And I've noticed that the deer only use their owntrails during the summer and autumn, once thefoilage drops, they stay away from hunting grounds and feeding places.....
the big ram I shot with my camera (http://www.flickr.com/photos/69041177@N00/sets/72157600304831105/)is one I've spotted almost every year, for about 5 years now and he keeps getting bigger. But even tho' the best feeding is done on a plateau filled with hunting stands ( rifle ) I suspect the oldest goat to keep the herd away from these places.
In spring you can sit in those hide outs and watch whole herds of sheep, wild boar and deer pass you by but come autumn you'll be all alone up there.
