I think a big issue is that lots of guys will follow the moving animal in their sights, hoping to react the instant they see an opening. For me this has never worked, generally giving the impression of having no holes big enough to shoot through because even with the animal moving fairly slowly you would have to react very quickly. I need to get ahead of the animal, find my opening, and then either make the shot or try to stop the animal when it reaches the opening. Learning to do this whilst trying to judge the head gear, often in a matter of split seconds, is not a weekend course.
Just my observation.
