Eyes/Game eyes
Foremost, I want to discuss the difference between eye sight and game eye sight. Years ago I read a article on sheep hunting where a guide was telling the hunters how many rams where located on a distant mountain. One of the hunters happened to be a eye doctor and knew the guide could not possible see that far. The doctor called the guide out and demanded a explanation on how the guide came to his conclusion. The guide admitted that he definitely could not actually see the rams in question, but explained that he could see the black Dots on the snow covered mountain, the dots were the horns of the rams and by his experience he knew what the dots represented. The doctor later wrote a book that explained game vision vs eye sight itself. Game vision tell the experienced hunter things such as a horn in a thicket belonging to a buck, when the deer is hidden by the brush. Little things such as a blinking eye, a thicker spot on a tree limb, a darker area on a tree limb or fork in a tree. Game vision is being able to spot things that do not belong. Game vision is seeing things that represent the game we are looking for. Those of us that are able to find game others do not see look for little things that are out of place. A tip of a ear above a limb, a dark spot, something that is not part of the tree, or background of what we are looking at. I hope this explains why game vision is way more important that just having good eyes. We lose eyesight as we age, but game vision helps us locate game that ever better eyesight fails to locate. Dave
