Default Something I thought all hunters knew.

It' s not really worth anything, but it makes for good conversation sometimes:

Have you ever seen a rabbit spot a fox that was hunting it? When a rabbit spots a fox/coyote, they stand up and look at it, then the fox/yote will head off for a new target. It' s not that they are afraid of the rabbit of course, it' s that they' ve been made, so they know the rabbit will run early and they will chase it, wasting energy for no meal, so they might as well go for something else right away.

Have you ever seen a rabbit spot a dog hunting it? When a rabbit spots a dog, they bolt immediately, because they know that a dog will go ahead and chase it all day because it' s fun for them, since they don' t have to catch the rabbit to get a meal at night.

Pretty interesting that they distinguish two animals of the same phylum by distinct species in how they react hey? Like I said, it' s not worth anything, unless you' re really good at using it against them, just kind of interesting.
