General Discussion

I just shout to see if they react (they don't) and there's nobody up here to talk to anyway.

My problem is when they are in the road. I believe that they react to danger by staying still and then moving in some RANDOM direction. The problem with that is that half the random directions are in the road. Not adapted to modern life.

They will also bolt onto a 60mph highway when somehow spooked on land. Don't ask me how I know about this.

Well, when I lived in San Francisco's east bay, we were near a lake and there were hills as well. One day I stopped short when one crossed the road by the lake (My daughter was with me) and again later (I think she was with me then as well) In the hills, when she was visiting a friend. It must have been mating season, when they apparently are in crazy mode. The home was near a green belt of sorts. And it showed. But they never left that general area, as it gave way pretty abruptly to "real" suburbs.
