You've obviously never hunted them in tussock country with matagouri filled guts then..... One thing is for certain,they are very very good at hiding behind even a tiny bit of cover,knowing full well you are there.

You are the first person to mention this trait . In the sixties at school about 11yrs old we had a stand in teacher sir rex innis jones a ww2 spitfire pilot over japan who was rapted to tell us boys about hunting fallow up the whanganui and he insisted we glass for a twitching eye or ear in the bush as they would stay dead still for an hour . He was one brave dude took flac up the arse and the saying was he had plastic in him than a toy factory , drove a ford falcon futura in 1972 when was a slave /apprentice .
