It is easier to watch larger mammals , but only when you have learnt to over come their very good sense of smell . be careful that wind does not carry your scent to mammals . If you decide to build a hide , ask the land owner for permission before you start.
When you find a good place to see mammals , try building a simple hide to watch ,try building a simple hide to watch them  from . Make a wigwam frame big enough to sit in from thin or bamboo canes . Tie the tops together with string . Weave leafy twigs on to the canes . You may have to stay quietly inside for some hours , but it should be well worth the wait. Make a simple tent using dull green or brown canvas or other heavy material . Hold the edges down with stones . Remember to wear dull coloured clothes .
