[QUOTE="Redmule454, post: 732786, member: 7396"] I second the fact that they are curious. My dad hunted them back in the '50s and they would take a strip of material or bandana and tie it to a fence or bush. The antelope would see it flapping in the breeze and get closer for a look. Ever see the photos or paintings of Indians with a feather on the top of their bow? I was told that was to attract game especially antelope. I once saw a herd of elk below me but could not get closer, no cover. So I crawled along an elk trail above them out in the open. Made myself look and act like a coyote, even sat back and scratched like a dog does with my hand. They watched me for a few and then went back to grazing. I crawled to within 67-70 yards of the herd and busted the 5x5 bull. :cannon:As long as you don't look like a human (vertical) and look more like one of them (horizontal) you can get away with being seen....sometimes!
