While practicing in the woods on my beat-up deer target I wore a path going to and from the target from various distances, the woods are thick so my trail has to serpentine
around and over all the trees and lanes to my target..I can never really get the yardage known (without some algorythm).. but anyway, in these same woods I discovered hunting chipmunks is a stalk sport, they have very good eyes, and you need to be close and or spot on. They can bust you on your draw too. they have eyes on the back of thier head for sure. but when they go behind a tree and you then ready on them, its great practice for still hunting. I found there is usually a leader chipmunk who owns about (whatever.. o.1 acres?) anyway, they have zones or sectors or something where one alpha chipmunk seems to trumpet his chirps from, while in other areas theres others. I dont know, I just thought that was kinda neeto. (alpha chipmunks..that cracks me up). chipmunks are also sneaky and quiet, requiring a decent still hunt mode.
