like last night .toby slowly stalked the bear in my bird feeder.he would take 2 steps SLOWLY then hold his rear leg in air and slowly set it down,then the front one.then stop and hold stiff,so stiff he looks like rock.he will hold that for say 10 minutes then take another step or 2 ,that may take 5 minutes to do that.then lay on his stomach IF HE THINKS THE BEAR SEES HIM.then up and slowly STALK again foot in air then stop and stand for 10 minutes if bear stays.if the bear attempts to leave,TOBY WILL BOUNCE OVER HIS BACK MAKING SURE HIS REAR TOES DIGS INTO THE BEARS BACK.
same why he stalks rabbits/groundhogs,large cats.
when toby gets to say 5 ft of anything other than bear,HE WILL HOLD LIKE ROCK AND SLOWLY TURN HIS HEAD TO ME AND THEN SLOWLY TURN IT BACK TO WHATEVER HE IS STANDING.
I HAVE TO SAY,get em if i want toby to flush it or if it moves, toby will move in and flush it after i am standing next to him.
i wish he did that on grouse so i could get there quicker to get shot.after leaves come off toby flushes grouse at 25 yds and that is hard shot,you have to be ready but its fun too.
