Just hide behind the rattlesnakes.

That is why they can see for miles and run like the wind for a looong time.

And I wasn't really kidding about the rattlesnakes. I was hunting in eastern NM with a friend and his son who had just returned from Army boot and was gung ho. We ran across a hefty rattler and he just had to launch his Ka-Bar at it. The old snake just coiled himself around the knife and said "come and get it".

On another hunt in NM, the ranch owner and the game warden came around as my wife and I were going out and gave us a little tip. They said that when the herds were stirred up they would make a big circle in their territory and come back around. We found a spot on the point of a low bluff and it turned out to be a near intersection point of 3 circles - two out in front of us below the point and one behind us. Naturally the first herd to return was behind us but the curious buck spotted us and came by closest and I was able to drop him. While I was gutting him one of the other herds came by and the wife dropped one. I got them both back to the truck and skinned them on the spot because of the heat and bagged them and we headed home.
