[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2242872, member: 91783"] I have always walked quietly even when I was a kid I didn't make much noise when I moved around . I noticed that I saw a lot of things that the other people didn't seem to , partly because I actually looked for them but also because I was quieter then them . As time went on I learned even more about not making much noise as I moved around , not letting limbs and things like that rub on me and not just letting go of them if I needed to move them out of my path of travel . I watched where I put my feet and stepped over or around things like vines or weeds brush ect. , that others would just push through letting them drag across their feet and legs . I don't drag my feet along the ground or floor but I don't pick them up real high either and I try not to set them down hard so they don't make sound when I'm walking along . It just came natural for me . In 1988 I got called by a guy that had some bum lambs that he was raising and had a pair of coyote eating on them . It was hot and dry in July the grass was dry and crunchy the ground was dusty and hard packed with cracks opening up in it . I got out to his place and set some snares out as every way I looked there were homes or roads so I didn't think calling and shooting was much of a good idea . It was late in the day and close to 95 degrees the place had a small stream running through it that had sharp banks nearly straight down to the creek . I walked over to the edge of it and looked down right below my feet was a coyote curled up laying on a small ledge in the shade by the water on some moist ground only about 5 feet from me staying cool . I always wore my gun belt with a 22 cal. 9 shot revolver , a knife and pliers on it . I started to pull the gun when she jumped up and ran for it . We both were surprised by each other I didn't get her shot but did have her and the male in snares the next morning . It still pays to walk softly for me . [/QUOTE]
