Re: Hunting WARNING - OPINION FOLLOWS

Nancy writes "Hunting pressure from humans is not significantly
different from hunting pressure from any other predator species"

I would have to disagree with that.  I don't know of any predator
species that goes for the strongest member of the herd.

Here's a horse related question:  Has anyone thought enough about *how*
their horse spooks (if it does) to notice if different critters cause
different kinds of spook?  I am pretty sure that Paul's mare Etta, queen
of sideways levitation, only did that with deer.  Not cougars, fox,
rabbits, coyotes, dogs or wild pigs.  At least the only times that Paul
wound up on the ground as the result of a spook was when it was about
deer.  Lif
