[QUOTE="Stickay03, post: 3510874, member: 14138"] I just go walking until I find deer lol A lot of the time down the edges of fields looking down into woods (it's really quiet walking the edge of a grass field or down an old road that's packed down) and also along the tops of ridges looking down. I haven't hunted tons of different places but deer here LOVE to travel ridges here. If I see them up and moving on a known trail and I'm on the edge of the woods I'll back off so they can't see me and walk a normal pace ahead of the deer and then ease my way down into the woods to ambush them where I know from previous experience the trail leads. If I can do it while only sitting 5 yards into the woods, even better. Preferably the closest area between me and the trail so I don't gotta go crunching 100 yards through the woods in other words but far enough ahead to not be seen. It helps to learn travel routes, bedding areas, and food sources. If you go out and see a deer but spook it, walk on down to where you seen it and try to figure out why it was there and follow the trail for future knowledge. To me, finding deer is the easy part - getting close for a good shot is the hard part. The only time I sit is when I've got myself ahead of deer. I like to prop on my knee or a branch when shooting to ensure buck fever don't decide where my bullet goes lol I hunt on a farm that my grandpa owns and he rides a 4 wheeler out there everyday along the fences to check and make sure none are down. Walking in his 4 wheeler tracks is a great way to be quiet too. I also use cow trails and deer trails - all I can really say since I don't know your area is to go walking and be quiet. [/QUOTE]
