I went through a similar training I'm sure. I too go out of my way to avoid detection unless being detect is required for safety reasons, like some dumb A about to shoot in my direction. I was stalking a buck with my bow not far off a road when some road hunting would be poacher pulled up and took a crack at the deer from inside his truck. I yelled but stayed safely behind the tree. The idiot missed but he also blew my stalk. He peeled out before I got the plate #. A nice 4x4 muley would have made a fine first deer with my bow. Not the first time I have had idiot ruin a stalk for me, not the last either.
