True that... On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

It can happen to anybody Cats are good at it " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins. When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar. Yours truly , Milan The Boarkiller - World according to Milan PS I have big boar on my floor...but it ain't dead, just scared to move... Man should be happy and in good humor until the day he dies... Only fools hope to live forever “ Hávamál” | |||

Great photo. Having been in the position of looking over the top of a leopard 15m in front of us for several minutes at 10am, I can't comment on their lack of situational awareness  DRSS | |||

The dude on the truck should have "FOOD" written on the back of his jacket!  But I always have to remember in these cases that someone who was right there and saw the whole thing took the picture! Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

It isn't just cats. All animals, wild or domestic can mess people up simply because most humans can not keep their head in the game. They focus too much and simply stop paying attention to what is going on around them. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

Ah, yes, situational awareness. I think that was the second thing they taught us in Ranger School. The first: pay attention to what we teach you here. Dyin' ain't so bad, but you have to stay dead such a damn long time. That was summer/fall of 1968. It held true then, and is so today... | |||

City dwellers are the worst. Most hunters learn to observe in all directions, including up and down. Not so the city type. | |||

Well I would agree that most learn to look around, but fewer and fewer learn to see. ______________________________________________ The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who are bereft of that gift. | |||

In the recent US search for two escaped murderers, the escapees sat in a tree stand while 'LE on the hunt'.. walked under them without noticing...  | |||

That, is the key. A person can LOOK all they want to, but if they can not comprehend what they are looking at, they are SOL! Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||
