Hi there, and thank you for taking your time for my post. I am an Archaeology/Anthropology at Indiana University. I am writing a paper about Middle Paleolithic hunter societies, and would like the opinions of a few of you experts!

Obviously there are differences between modern and Paleolithic hunting practices, however I am specifically looking for information reference the liklihood of large prey (deer and larger) to be attuned to hunter presence over a range of time, and be more or less "spooked" by human presence.

I have included a SurveyMonkey link here for anyone to take a very short survey that will be invaluable. I assure you it is safe, and that it doesn't link to anything awful. LOL. I will also periodically check this forum to see if there are any responses to this post.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give! There just aren't many peer-reviewed, published articles on this aspect of hunting, therefore I have to do some of my own initial research to determine the liklihood of prey coming around areas of hunter habitation.
