No worries, I've read Kevin's book and a lot more material about the topic. Of course BPs are often found there, they spend 90% of the time in their hides in nature... but what do you think do they do the other 10%? Sitting in front of their hide waiting for a mouse to pass by?

It made sense even before you were so polite to repost your points. You are missing what I am saying: Security = Hides, large enclosure = no problem with hides, nature = large enclosure...
