That's the truth, those antelope in wy have eyes like a eagle. If they could smell like a bear and hear like a moose you would never harvest one.

OOOOOHHHHHHHH NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO Mr. Grill!!!!!!!!!! Sounds like a nightmare to me, the salad was designed to make you appreciate the 2" thick Porterhouse Steak (rare of course) even more, the Potato was intended to be used, cut up into fries, to go with a thick burger and of course, Brussel Sprouts, Broccoli, Cauliflower et al go well with amost anything and Tomatos have a multiplicity of uses, but, ......If signs ceased to be targetry, at least half the sign makers would be out of a job, Please......think of their starving wives and children!!!!, Not to mention the new additions to welfare, losing their jobs through no fault of their own.


I won't honor the "outlaw guns" remark with a response.

Well, deer at least just see it as another shade of gray - they can't distinguish color as much as we can. I think moose and elk are the same, but I don't know about antelope.

They're way more tuned into movement than appearance.

They're (antelope) way more skittish, had mule deer come up to our garage door and hang by the step so I get out there and get more feed for them, then the wild turkeys would come and fight for it - was a fun sight

I had a hunter-safety instructor who insisted that we must wear only orange, never camouflage - deer, elk, etc can detect patterns. Evidently - according to the husband - it doesn't matter.
All I know right now there is some bloke beyond the forest who is attempting - in painful fashion - to operate a bird (duck??) call and is failing..miserably. He's scaring off my songbirds. I have a headache.

I remember a few times, quite literally, running into a mule deer in Wyoming. I don't recall who screamed the louder...never knew deer could scream.
