@Huntaz:
"It's all gravy, but what makes me a part of it is being a player and not just an observer."
My point again, the animal is not aware of "playing" the game. Although I have seen herds being stalked by coyotes that seemed rather non chalant… never saw the coyote attack so perhaps not a predator/prey relationship. More wishful thinking on coyotes part.
Re; the "jack wagons smile" (I'm gonna name my country band this!
) you are correct, I assumed but back to my experiences with Native Americans it lacks respect IMO. Just how I see it.
