[QUOTE="Longreach, post: 12937, member: 3011"] [b]Re: They know when you\'re not after them...[/b] Brown Dog, I'm certain that animals can sense whether or not you're in hunt mode or not. Happened to me whilst I was glassing fallow deer at 90m. The deer were unaware of my presence but I felt a nudge on my shoulder from my hunting partner. When I lowered my binocular, I found a fox staring at us from about 15 feet away! Of course, any attempt to move, even moderately, would've given the game away. He trotted on past us when we made eye contact! Crows are another finely tuned birdie. They not only seem to know if you're hunting but also whether your magazine is loaded or not!! I kid you not.
