   You gotta make the first shot count, 'cause you're to far away for a   
   second try!

   Dangerous game may run toward you when only wounded, or hide nearby in   
   ambush. That's why it is dangerous.   
      
   Actually he wrote that large dangerous game was usually shot at quite close   
   range, perhaps 50-100 yards or less. It isn't fearful and skittish like   
   antelope that keep their distance. Earlier elephant hunters such as Bell had   
   been able to take long shots with small caliber, flat shooting rifles   
   because the big game fed in open country, but hunting pressure had moved it   
   into brush for concealment which made longer shots difficult and rare. I've   
   seen a tame elephant in a forest, unless it moves or you see the outline   
   they show a featureless dull grey or mud color that blends into the   
   background. Their long legs resemble tree trunks.   
      
   Many wild animals can be very hard to see without practice, I nearly trip on   
   the fairly tame rabbits around my house. In the game park at Stone Mountain   
   GA the deer lying on pine needles were invisible even up close, their hair   
   looked so much like the needles that I couldn't follow their outlines, only   
   see their hooves, eyes, noses and most clearly the flies buzzing around   
   them.   
      
   I cut firewood in a forest that paintballers used. Tanned white skin and   
   honey blonde hair are pretty good camouflage in long dry grass. Brown skin   
   worked well but black skin stood out at a distance, as did discarded tires   
   and batteries.
