Learning the body language and how they respond to your call will give you a good idea on what you are calling in but that doesn’t matter. As you know you should never shoot at any thing that you cant positively identify. I got a REAL schooling in animal identification in Africa. We would see or call in animals at virtually every stand. Eyes were everywhere; Steenbok, Duiker, Springbok, Mountain Reedbuck, Springhare, Cape Fox, Aardwolf, Bat-eared Fox, Genet, Cape Hare and African Wildcat were just the “USUAL” things that we would see! I was going nuts. If a guy didn’t have his poop in a group over there, you could get in a lot of trouble. I am very thankful that my guide was a professional ADC man. If he took a second look at a set of eyes you better be ready to shoot. It was astounding how he could identify the different species with one sweep of the light! I guess doing it literally all the time will give you a trained eye.
Good hunting.
