[QUOTE=Mojotex;3979296]May I offer that "jumping the string" is sort of a mis-speak to me. The deer are not "jumping", but rather squatting to load their legs muscles for flight. You can demonstrate this yourself. Stand straight and tall, with legs absolutely straight. Try to jump say 6" up? Cannot do it without what? First bending your knees to load your legs.

yeah i think everybody and their brother is on the same page with that.. Jumping the string is just the term used... Just saying!
