[QUOTE="Crosshairy, post: 3488169, member: 3202"] The problem is usually that people are less "patient" than deer, which means a hunter will move more often. Most hunters can't stand thinking that they need to "get over there, where the deer are", so they allow themselves to move too quickly. Deer survive by moving less and watching more (aside from the seeking/chasing phases of the rut). On top of all that, some places just don't lend themselves to stalk/still hunting due to limited visibility. The ability to see a wide range of colors and detect patterns (like the horizontal line of a deer's back) are really your only major sensory advantages over a deer - their senses are better in every other respect. If you cannot use those to your advantage, then you are relying more on luck. Slowing down so to increase the odds that they move first (revealing themselves) is pretty much your only option, assuming you are already walking into the wind. [/QUOTE]
