You gotta make the first shot count, 'cause you're to far away for a
second try!

---------------------------------------
Dangerous game may run toward you when only wounded, or hide nearby in 
ambush. That's why it is dangerous.

Actually he wrote that large dangerous game was usually shot at quite close 
range, perhaps 50-100 yards or less. It isn't fearful and skittish like 
antelope that keep their distance. Earlier elephant hunters such as Bell had 
been able to take long shots with small caliber, flat shooting rifles 
because the big game fed in open country, but hunting pressure had moved it 
into brush for concealment which made longer shots difficult and rare. I've 
seen a tame elephant in a forest, unless it moves or you see the outline 
they show a featureless dull grey or mud color that blends into the 
background. Their long legs resemble tree trunks.

Many wild animals can be very hard to see without practice, I nearly trip on 
the fairly tame rabbits around my house. In the game park at Stone Mountain 
GA the deer lying on pine needles were invisible even up close, their hair 
looked so much like the needles that I couldn't follow their outlines, only 
see their hooves, eyes, noses and most clearly the flies buzzing around 
them.

I cut firewood in a forest that paintballers used. Tanned white skin and 
honey blonde hair are pretty good camouflage in long dry grass. Brown skin 
worked well but black skin stood out at a distance, as did discarded tires 
and batteries.
