I stalked into half a dozen feral sheep way up on the tops along way from anywhere many years ago, (20+) and I can only think it was a flash of my watch that gave me away. I was up hill of them and upwind. There was no hesitation on there part it was we are out of here.. I thought they will stop on the bush edge and I may get a long shot at them... nope they just kept running all the way into the bush, yip they can be crafty. I did manage to get a decent trophy ram a day or so later.

Wild bulls, bugger that LOL.
