[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 6675903, member: 4505"] I'm afraid that is not totally correct. A sudden shock will spook most livestock, especially horses. Witness the effect a plastic bag blown across the road has on a lot of horses and you will understand what I mean. A shoot or an organised clay pigeon shoot will not usually spook livestock but someone letting off a sudden fusilade of shots, or very loud fireworks, behind a hedge can. Domestic animals will, of course, as you say often pick up on the mood of their handlers. As for your game shoot, I would suggest that the noises and disturbance increase over a period as the shooters come closer. They don't suddenly leap out from behind cover and start blazing away! That is something that will even spook me and I've been shooting all my life! [/QUOTE]
