Daryl, if spooked particularly at close range they bolt like a race horse or a Grey Hound, regardless of how thick or how steep it is. I have found tracks coming up out of rivers that are so steep that it is impossible for me to climb without a rope or heaps of small trees to hang on to and yet they seem to be able to do it with ease, and I am quite fit. They can cover a huge amount of ground very quickly without ever tripping up even though our bush is quite thick in most places.
They are amazing animals. Very exciting to hunt.
