- Hello there,
-
- This is my first season of deer hunting (I used to hunt grouse before), so
- my experience is kind of theoretical and limited. In the area I hunt
- there seems to be very few deer this year, in fact everyone I meet says
- that. It is almost impossible to find enough tracks to warrant setting up
- a stand. It seems to me that stalking or stillhunting would be a more
- productive approach here, with a hunter on the move more likely to meet
- deer. My question is: what are the most effective ways to stalk etc.?
- I understand the basics, but are there any patterrns in response of startled
- deer for example? in direction of its movements? Most of the land here is
- wooded with clearings, low hills, shooting distances are 100 yards max.
-
- Thanks in advance
-
- Adam
