Play Like an Animal
RABBIT
Rabbits, when spooked run around in a circle. If the predator is a little slow taking up the chase, the rabbit will end up behind him. This will only work if you begin your circle OUT OF SIGHT of the opposition.
DEER
Deer will run a ways and stop. In this case, when you are being pursued, once you are out of
sight, line up your sights on where your pursuers will come at you. When they come into range let them have a few, and run some more.
GROUSE
Quail will go unnoticed until you are right beside them, then they take off. This makes a lot of
noise, and unless you have nerves of steel you'll have a load in your pants. The best way to make this work is to wait until the opposition is really close. If you leave too much room they will have time to
react. This will scare the fight out of them.
CHARGE
Some animals will charge directly at the predator. This throws the predator for a loop as they
anticipated and escape in a direction away from them. Like the grouse this works best if you wait until they are almost on you. This also works if you're cornered and in full sight of your opposition.
FREEZE
Some animals will absolutely not move, no matter how close you get to them. Unless they are
directly threatened, or sense their discovery, they will remain absolutely motionless. Most times the predator will pass them by, allowing for a back shot.
