It’s one thing to be in a tree blind and wait, but be on the ground and stalking?

I thank you for your post, as I don’t really know, but you must admit, this guy gets within 150 yards under the noses of our guys?

Still-hunting is on the ground, moving in deer country, in places and times, and at a pace, that deer move. People walk through the woods like bulldozers. Sliw down. You can’t be silent...neither are deer. The reason some people have a hard time getting within 150 yards of deer is that they spook them from that distance. Never take more than three steps at a time. Learn to distribute your weight on your feet. Learn the way the wind works...thermals and prevailing...control your scent. Often as not, deer will walk to you, not the other way around. It takes discipline. Personally, I’d rather set up on a stump and watch trails, but still-hunting is quite viable. If you have birds nearly landing on you, or colliding with you, you’re doing it right. 😃
