Myth or Fact?

[AbLonewolf]

Just read the " Wild Game ignore shots" thread, and that got me thinking, as someone recently told me about this.

He feels that game will sense the laser from a rangefinder when pointed at them. I really don't have an answer.

Myth or fact?

If it is a "giant frickin laser" they may!!!

I say myth. I range almost every animal I shoot, never had one react to it.

I head up a security team for a major Canadian Mall and regularly laser suspicious potential threats and they never notice.

Oh forget it......

First you have to double up your armour plating so that you can absorb multiple incoming 308 rounds while the team assembles

Sorry to the OP for the hijack, but I couldn't resist.

I would wager that the red dot could potentially spook them... but then again, I have used flash game cameras as well as infrared ones and I never did really find that the flash spooked them at night.... so don't really see why a little red dot would during the day......

Absolutlely MYTH

I shone a lazer pointer in the snow in front of a fox one nght, all he wanted to do was jump on it and bite it. He only reacted to the dot on him when he could see it, like on his nose, paws, tail. It was funny to watch, wish I had it on video.

Deer aren't afraid of infra-red flashes but some do appear to be wary at it!

I would tend to agree with kawika1kalina, but then again if your lazer was big enough Kelly wouldn`t have to drag out his 7-08. Just eat BBQ.
