When I was culling I used to wait until I had the gist of which goats were to die first to ensure the whole mob. Sometimes I'd sit there with them. Meandering around me, stopping and looking and sort of looking through me. If my face was uncovered they'd look straight at it from a distance and I'd be screwed pretty quick.

Ive tried low sheen sunscreen on the face. Can't say if it did or didn't work. It drop uv reflection tho.

100%. Last goat hut after I'd shot two from the mob in the head with subsonic rounds. I wear a buff for this kind of hunting, even goats spook from an uncovered human face.

Here's something that might be interesting. I had a theory about suncream. Especially the ones that absorb uv.
I was just packing gear and thought, I wonder what happens when you out suncream on blaze then swing the uv over it. Well turns out it reflects a more purply colour but equally bright. This gets me thinking that the orange reflection under uv that comes from blaze is still in a spectrum that deer can't see(being orangey). I'm no expert and can only go from what I can learn from the net.
