I guess they're like wolves or humans. They make specific sounds for specific things. One find human, he screams in a specific way and all within hearing distance know.

Vlad and his order of dragons would know what to do with those zombies!

You've all got it wrong. Zombies can't see! Their eyes are decomposed from years of being in a dark grave. They're totally blind by then!. They have a heightened sense of smell. Even though they do smell of rotting flesh they can't smell themselves. Think about how ppl in some countries don't shower as much as we do or use deodorant. They don't think they stink. Only other ppl can smell then.

With that being said. We need to train our noses to sniff out zombies. You can smell them before you see them, especially if they travel in herds. The smell must radiate for miles!!

So true! Like everything else they do, Hollywood strays far from the truth when portraying zombies. What I was wondering about is that sort of "herd mentality" often atributed to zombies. Do they really have some kind of ESP so that if one zombie senses you they all do like in the movies or is that just more "Hollywood"?

I'll ask, next time I'm having a beer with one. I always thought it was just the sound of a pop-top that drew them...

[billy]

is it something i need for my Z.H.T.F. survival lead lined bunker ?

Buy it: http://www.amazon.com/Zombie-Survival-Guide-Complete-Protection/dp/1400049628/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1200655224&sr=8-1
Read it cover to cover. Then buff up on sections every now and again.

Assimilate and enact the information.

You will then know the answer to the original question... it's all in the book.

Do you think training our sense of smell and using it against them would be fair?I think I could run them competition for odor by the time spring bath time comes around,but it is a different kind of smell.Do you have the same problem? sam.

I read "WW-Z" and liked it. As I remember, some old fashoned weapons were the best.

[tlarkin]

I read the Max Brooks books, and being a fan of post apocalyptic books/cinema zombie movies are some of my favorites.

You guys should check out this web page:

Zombie Survival & Defense Wiki - Zombie Survival & Defense Wiki

I was looking online to buy some Zombie paper targets for the shooting range, but couldn't find any that sold them.

I think the best weapon you can use against anything is one that you can handle and handle well. A .22 pistol will suffice for head shots, you destroy their brain you destroy them. It has no kick and is accurate enough to peg a zombie with ease.

Just remember though gentlemen, blades do not need reloading.

I haven't been able to find them either but then I live in Mass. We're not allowed to have "human" targets even though the re-animated dead are no longer human. I've been lobbying for years to have the state issue Zombie tags.

[tlarkin]

well there is this I found, but I think its for air rifles

I Make Projects - Reactive Zombie Targets

[billy]

my 308 could do that i betcha

[tommy]

well if they are dead then there would be a really really cold cold spot every where a zombie was so i would just shoot every black spot i see moving or what ever colrs cold showes up as. rememember how things get really cold when the dead appear?


infact this summer i think to cut back on the eletric bill i'm just gonna have one of them sayonsis and bring back a few spirits lets say six or seven . i'll put one in evey room of the house that way i can shut the a/c off and they should keep the house cool.thats one way to get the most out of a dead ghost.

Actually, tommy, unless there's been a significant temperature change (such as right at sunrise or sunset) I'm pretty sure their bodies would be the same temperature as the environment, so the only way you could see them with thermal imaging would be is if they walked in front of something that was a different temperature and made a silhouette.

[tommy]

then hy would you get a chill whe a ghost appears? it gets cold it doesn't stay room temp? light afew fires .lol

Ghosts don't have bodies, tommy. At least the ones I've talked to don't...so a zombie wouldn't be cold like one, unless a ghost was haunting his old dead body. And they probably have better things to do.

[tommy]

there are spots in the swamp where we walk at and at night the temps are atleast10/20 degrees cooler than anyplace else and they are about 20 feet around . the funny part is most of the cold spots are around this place where an old hous used to be years ago like 90 years ago maybe more . if i go there at night and take ictures all i get is them round whites fuzzy dots in the pictures they show up all over the place in the trees right in front of you even the dogs go on the alert in that area. if i didn't have a problem with ghost and dead people that place would be the best place to spend a hot night because it's always cool there.

Well, from my personal experience in once having a job as a Zombie with a traveling carnival, I can honestly tell you this, Yes, Zombies can see in the dark, but only if and when there eyes are open.
