Observation?s

I have noticed on very dark nights that sometimes you don’t see the eyes of a coyote until they are right on top of you. Do you think that this is because they keep their eyes on the ground during their approach because of poor visibility? I have also found that I will have a better response rate with a slight breeze than when it is dead calm. Jackal hunting is much the same as coyote hunting and I have seen the same type of behavior in them as well. Have you observed similar behavior or is it just a string of coincidences.

Thanks.

Q,
 
I notice the same kind of behaviour in Foxes here in OZ. The other weekend i went out spotlighting with no moon and a little breeze....we got a few then the breeze buggered off and we didnt get much after that at all. Yet i have been out on nights that are as windy as buggery with nearly a full moon and had them foxes come running right it bright eyed yet on a the other night with no moon it was pritty much as you said the foxes seemed to be in really close before you saw them...or if you saw them a long way out there eyes wouldnt stay looking up for long even though they were coming in....so i beleave you right...when there is no moon at all they have a little bit of trouble seeing also.
