I had just put my first skill point into tracking. Lo and behold a deer shows up on the map near my base. I quickly ♥♥♥♥ my rifle, leap over my home made security wall, and ran face first into two rabid zombie dogs who apparently were sniffing around the area (yes, it was a bright sunny day). It startled me so much I almost swiped my mouse off the table trying to dodge and aim.

I guess the moral of the story is 'look before you leap' :-)
