RE: A question that I just can't seem to answer...
I get blasted everytime I say this.....but we're not dealing with an animal that can "reason".
I hear how they can discern "hunters" from people walking....and I ask...."Why not just wear a track suit hunting, then?".
When it comes right down to it, Fran.....I think we give these animals WAYYYyyyyy too much credit, sometimes.
Are they hard to kill? Sometimes. Are some of them harder to kill than others? Sure.....there are fewer of them. It's a numbers game.
Do they "react"? I think so. Do they "learn"?Jury's out.
A big mature buck can avoid a hunter who's practically (I siad "practically") scent-free...."Practically" invisible........but he don't know that the thing that killed 12 of his buddies ....the thing with the lights.....will kill him, too?
"Roads" scholars (pun intended).....they're not.
