    Don't wear gumboots, I heard down south sheep are traumatized by the sound of oversized gumboots approaching.

    In my very limited experience (one hunt!), they are about as clever/daft as goats. Not hard to stalk. They might trot off if they've had some hunting pressure, but I think you just got unlucky.
