Thread: Does gunshot clear a area in the bush

No set pattern of behavior, lots of variables, Tuesday was stalking 3 spikers in a gully, when I finally got the shot I wanted ,I had had eyes on all 3 for a couple of hrs, all in exactly the same chilled out mooching mood, stayed in cover and watched after the shot (range about 80yds no suppressor) - spiker 1 went down, spiker 2 took the express out of town, spiker 3 wandered about trying to figure out what was going on, climbed the bank opposite me and only headed off up the hill after he decided he wasn't sure about the two legged thing on the other bank videoing him, even then he kept stopping to have another look. Anything up to 5 mins after the shot I could have got spiker 3. As it happens he was the one already selected as the don't shoot animal because to me he looked like the one that was going to be good in a year or 4.
