Do I need my eyes checked?
 
Please tell me someone else has noticed this because it's starting to annoy me[:-]. Ok so when I'm scanning the woods I'm moving my head lets say from left to right. When I get to as far as I want to look to my right and satisfied I don't see anything, I'll start looking back to my left. Almost EVERYTIME I just start moving my head back to the left, I have to do a double take from where I was just looking because I thought I saw something[:@]. Seems like whenever I move my head to scan a different area this happens. And obviously 99% of the time it's nothing that I "thought" I saw. Anyone else notice this or should I go see an eye doctor?:eek:

Ever shot at a deer and missed? If so, it's probably that deer following you around and screwing with your mind. [&:] Or...maybe you just want to see something so bad, you're creating the image in your own mind. Either way...at least you're seeing something...so you think.:D

For me it's called wishful hoping!;)

You have to lay off the crack, at least while afield. That'll help. ;):D[8D]


Seriously though, I think it's your mind playing tricks - you know, at that point when everything looks like a deer.

Sounds like you're on high alert. Nothing wrong with that.

I do the same thing. I also have found myself staring at a stump for over an hour...........waiting for an ear to flicker or a tail to move!....[&:]

So maybe there is something wrong with me. At least I can go back and tell my buddies I saw 9,352 deer tonight![8D]

LOL!:D

I catch myself doing the same thing. Frankly, I don't mind doing it. It has helped me out before.

Hunters mirage!

Happens all the time, but if it starts happening too often, try closing your eyes for a little while and listening. Works for me. I'm sure there is a real name for it, but I think sometimes we become visually over stimulated.
