Are you a poker?
Well, the real question is do people know the reaction they are looking for? But no, all the ones I have poked have been dead dead.I guess the next question is, who has poked one in the eye and had it react.
I might have to try that. My Dominus would sure wake one up if he was playing opossum.I used to, but then I realized it’s a foolish way to go. What if the animal is blind, can’t blink, or is really committed to playing opossum?
Now, I approach from the rear and use my barrel to give them a Texas Heart Check. Granted, this method is easiest with a sporter-profile barrel. Suppressors make it more difficult.
Approach from the rear of the animal observing to confirm it appears expired. I usually give the animal a “shove” to be sure.
Mean animals (bear, Cape buffalo, etc.) will get some rocks or sticks thrown at them before getting closer.
Every time I poke, I get a reactionI guess the next question is, who has poked one in the eye and had it react.
