I began seeing more deer when I learned how to stalk, i.e. walk a few feet, stop, and survey the entire woods around me. I saw even MORE deer when I learned to plan for more than one route to any given location determined by the wind. I began KILLING deer when I learned to take risks, sometimes believing in my gut instinct, and moving to a new location in the middle of a hunt - spotting and stalking my way there with great attention to the wind.

You got it friend, never be afraid to act on your gut instinct! Some have way more of this than others!

That's something I plan on trying this season--more walking and stalking.

Yep i have gotten to where i can cover ground and do it quietly. I have even taught my wife to do it prettu good but i have some buddies who i dont even like to be around in the woods. They sound like bulldozers.

never tried it myself . Have seen several hunters do it though. I usually see them about 10 minutes after all the deer had come running past me. However like MRK stated just after a rain is a good time to slip around. Seen a lot of deer walking to my stand just after the rain stops.

I like to do it after a rain on private land, but when i'm on public, I try to refrain.
