This works with any object that has even a bit of contrast, which can be  bushes, rocks, fences, houses, just about anything.

Are these objects moving so quickly that they are moving out of your DOF between the time that you aim at them and then snap the shutter?  Would you not use "One Shot AF" instead?  Or better yet Servo with Back Button Focus?  Any examples of contrapositives that you can post?
