[QUOTE="Stickay03, post: 3510718, member: 14138"] The best advice I can give... do it when it's really windy or wet. If you can't be quiet you will not have success. I can't tell you how many deer I have walked up on laying on the ground just relaxing that had no clue I was there (all thanks to the wind or wet leaves with very little crunch if any) I choose wind over wetness because you're gonna snap sticks etc no matter how hard you try to avoid it even with the ground saturated - with the wind and some good camo, you can walk pretty close up on a deer without them having a clue. I don't believe in a formula when it comes to speed and distance traveled - it literally depends on how quiet you can be. Move as little as possible (you shouldn't be walking through there like a sasquatch swaying your arms) Slow and steady and lots of pauses to see what is around you. I also listen to wildlife - birds will give away movement in the woods and squirrels will too. I have also found many deer down in ditches, laying down behind logs, basically I figure to try and escape the wind and cover themselves. I can't say that for a fact but I can say I've seen it a lot - also in low spots when windy. I'm not a pro hunter nor do I work for Primos but I've got 4 deer so far this year and I don't go hunting that much so I'm doing alright lol [/QUOTE]
