[QUOTE="rifle02, post: 5770734, member: 20050"] For much of my life still hunting was the pattern because when I started hunting there were no climbers or ladder stands to speak of. When you sit on the ground and your butt gets cold or the stump you sit on becomes hard as rock it's natural to get up and walk. On days when I was antsy and couldn't sit still I busted out a lot of deer just by walking around in the woods- bad technique. Starting in about 2000 when I discovered reliable climbers AKA Summit Viper I became much more passive and my success rate increased exponentially. Starting about 2015 I began to hunt a small piece of private property. If I got antsy and walked around it took me only about 15 minutes and I was done with that because the property was so small. Nowadays still hunting is something I try to avoid but find myself doing it on a larger property once in awhile. It's a mental attitude but I never expect to see deer when I'm still hunting it's usually the long way back to the camper and in my mind I'm done. Rattling, grunt tubes, attractants and lures, all seem to me to be expensive ways of scaring deer out of the woods. On days when there's nothing happening it's always worth a try though. [/QUOTE]
