So what you're saying is, animals do not notice the whine of an internal combustion engine and 5K lb of steel sneaking up on them? If so, everything is OK right up until the door opens?
Any good wildlife photographer could tell you that animals are more afraid of the human form than they are of the vehicle form. They do notice the vehicle but they are not as afraid of it. From my experience the best way to photograph is from a blind of some kind. And I have done so from a pop up blind. It works very well. But, if the animal discovers you they are gone in a shot. A vehicle is not a perfect blind but it is more comfortable than a pop up and is better than nothing.
