I was watching a hunting show on the outdoor channel this last weekend. It really made me think about this too-and convinced me to approach differently!

The two fellas were approaching the downed deer (buck of course cause they don't hunt does on those TV shows). They were approaching it from a parallel line of travel, not directly to it. Because it was laying lengthwise and facing away from them you couldn't see the eyes.

They weren't 10-15 feet away when...................BAM! This thing was up and bolted right past them at light speed.

If that deer had hit one of them.........well it wouldn't have been pretty.
