I'm reason they call it hunting and not shooting.

Cool.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Thanks for posting that, its a good explanation.

Something a hunter can do is let their eyes go into that soft focus similar to what the video discusses while sitting on stand. Try not to look at any single object, just keep your eyes still and let them go into a soft focus on the whole scene in front of you and you will be surprise how much better you can pick up slight movement.

Very interesting, thanks for posting. I liked the example of how deer see running through the woods compared to humans.
Can remember back in the early 90's when the rage was non UV clothing so you wouldn't "glow" in the tree. They had a
dark room at a deer show with a "black light". Everyone's jeans glowed and you could even see where people dumped
laundry detergent on there jeans.

I never would have thought they had such good peripheral vision. Interesting video.
