[QUOTE="Shed Hunter, post: 3488172, member: 10556"] Both deer I killed this year where while i was on my feet. The first was a young doe. Second was a big 3.5 year old six point. I actually prefer to be on the ground moving.. Its a lot more fun to me, but I will sit most times simply due to success being more likely. I've snuck up on plenty, but I've had some see me too. Biggest thing is wind.. Deer rely on their nose more than anything.. They will smell you very quickly. Walk where the wind is in your favor. Second is not moving too much and moving the right way when you do advance. I tend to walk in shadows and hide behind EVERY tree I walk up too for at least a minute. When I find a good tree to lean against I'll stay there for a little longer. You also are going to have to be quiet. Deer hear about the same as we do, but they can pin point you and will sneak off if they feel threatened (they usually do). I prefer to be on my feet in the rain.. It's quite and usually cloudy so you have lots of darkness to hide in. [/QUOTE]
