Quote2# Suppose a Squirrel is behind the trunk of a tree , which, it keeps between itself and a hunter who is circling the tree. In this case does the hunter actully walk around the squirrel?
If the supposed squirrel is on the tree the hunter is walking around then yes. A smart hunter would pick up a rock, throw it past the side of the tree (where the supposed squirrel is supposed to be). When the rock hits the ground the supposed squirrel will be quite surprised by the noise and run to the side of the tree the hunter is supposed to be on. The hunter then shoots the supposed squirrel and happily posts pictures of it on FnF for all to see. :laf:
