Very clever.
Yesterday I took a hike through the badlands. I was there wandering for a few hours and on my way back discovered some rock cystal formations in a shelf of invertebrate fossil. As I was looking this over, I heard a few crunches near by. My mind said "deer', and that is probably what it was. My 'feel' on the matter said 'watch out' and this I did. I scanned the passage/shoulder of the hills to see if any deer had been disturbed and were running for cover. None. I thought this a little strange, but deer will hold their positions and backtrack too. I went back to the rocks and as soon as I bent over heard more crunches in the duff beneath the cedars nearby. I drew the chitlangi I carried and made sure it flashed the sun in all directions.
There are many cougars here.
I'll take my chitlangi over a chinese button anyday.
