Watching deer through military night vision goggles and a (NOD) night opticle device,one sees them almost clearly,however if you see a bear through them all u'
ll see is reflextive eyes and when they turn you'll see a bush literally! they almost disappear! Another thing is i've found is bear and deer do'not fear man per se they become disturbed at our smell,so, with this in mind i have used store bought doe scent with great results. One time i used the urine of a dead racoon to get close to a pair of black bear cubs 30' while the mother stayed at the edge of the bushline the cubs roamed to within 10' of me befor one was able to detect me and i was standing on top of my truck.Elk are a bit trickier they seem to stay just far enough away to make blury images one will seem like several, although my german shepard will be seen clearly also even moving at running speeds.I often wonder just how thick the hide of a bigfoot is? anybody know?
