Another reason I've never worn all the fancy gear....I dress in jeans and a hoodie, or like a loggerGame can sense when you are "predatoring" and when you are not.
Joggers and walkers would probably see more deer than hunters, if they looked for them.

But when that old timer gets his Chevy Tracker stuck with one front tire over the edge of a steep bank, held in place by the tree to keep it from sliding over the hill, remember that you too are over 60 and shouldn't be trying to push a Tracker back onto the road because you might just hurt your back. Don't worry about the fact the old timer is on heart medication. Go ahead and just spend a cool night in February 2024 in said Tracker, then in the morning walk the six miles down to a Forest Service road where you might possibly flag down another vehicle. That six-mile hike is a lot more miserable with a bad back, and getting out of bed for the next week or two will bring its own form of torture. Seems like a lot of bother just to check some game cameras and maybe pick up a shed or two. All hypothetical of course.
"Thanks" by the way to Ryan from Lowell for the ride to the Oakridge DQ. And to the stout lads from Oakridge that helped by bucking a huge tree out of the road and winching the Tracker back to solid ground a couple of days later. A reminder that there are still a lot of good folks out and about in the mountains, despite a few stories you might hear to the con
That definitely holds true for meIt seemed for me, the more stuff I bring to make getting, and processing game easier, the less likely I'll be successful.
You guys sound like my hunting buddy. He will intentionally leave his pack frame at home because; "If I have it, I won't need it." Guess who ends up doing the packing?That definitely holds true for me

There's nothing magic about it. Prey critters need to be able to tell the difference between a predator hunting them and those who aren't or they would spend too much time running from predators that were not hunting. Its really obvious when a predator is hunting. It sneaks, tries to avoid being seen. It is as quiet as possible. It hides in ambush. Its head is turned directly toward prey, its eyes fixated, staring. The predator walking by casually in plain sight is often ignored as long as it isn't too close. It glances at prey critter but doesn't stare it. I've heard of one time a wolf or fox pretended to be uninterested, then grabbed a duck that was too trusting and let canine get too close. But it must be pretty rare. Apparently most predators aren't very devious.Game can sense when you are "predatoring" and when you are not.

Revision: Note to young bucks. Don't trust Old Broads.Note to self..... Don't trust Old Broads
Especially if she's zig zaggin'!Revision: Note to young bucks. Don't trust Old Broads.
Any time we go fishing, my wife makes sure to take out something for dinner with that same reasoning behind it. If she doesn't, we get skunked....It seemed for me, the more stuff I bring to make getting, and processing game easier, the less likely I'll be successful.
At least, as a 78-year-old broad, I'm pretty mellow. But as Young Broad...well, a piece of a song I thought up while hiking one day, after having not having seen any other humans for a month, went thus:We quit farming and raising animals 20 years ago. Now we just buy a
half of beef every year from a local rancher. A local kid has a custom
kill, cut and wrap. less work for me and probably cheaper.
Back on topic, Walk slow, stop often, and watch behind you for
zig zaggin Old Broads.
