Then I think we agree more than you think.
As far as your other scenarios.....I think they can learn to look for danger in an area......a certain tree.....certain trees in a certain area. The blind is a prime example.
But to wander through the woods looking up for hunters? I'm just not buying it. I don't think they're capable of that type of thought process.
There's a good article in one of (I think it was) Lee Rue III's books that talks about a study that was done on a small tract of enclosed land (I believe it was about 5 acres). There were 10 free roaming bucks darted and then put into the enclosure and then one hunter for each buck entered simultaneously attempting to harvest a book. What was witnessed was unbelievable. Bucks did things such as get on their knees and crawl backwards in order to avoid the hunters. If they can learn to do things like this, I'd venture to say that do in fact they "learn" to look up. Call it a conditioned response or whatever else you want, its learning.
Read this, everyone. Wahoo.... .really makes some good points, in this post. I think his post is right because its has science in it..... giving it validity.
Good, job wahoo
