Alberta, thick forest, and shooting lanes.
...That forest looks really thick, do you have trouble taking shots through all that brush?
Only near the edge of the forest. The uncut grass on the property can reach several feet in height during a rainy spring and summer. The home is on 22 acres of land, 70% forested. It also backs up to Crown Land (Government land) that goes for miles! Much of the forest floor is covered in pine needles, dead and rotting leaves, and ferns. Much of the sun is blocked overhead.
Who else here has to take bear spray on their stalks? There are bear, moose, elk, deer, coyotes, all over! In our week out there we only saw one black bear,it was eating blueberries on the other side of the house, about 200 feet away.
In this particular scenario we were tasked with approaching the tall grass from the forested area crawl in, and shoot at a fixed target below the balcony. The rest of the adults (3) would try and spot us from the balcony. Their height advantage made our task harder. We were required to take shots at timed intervals. What I had the boys do was if they could not find a shooting lane, to make one. It was pretty fun!
