RE: I know its a little early but,
I've never had any luck with the spot and stalk--I'm like a bull in a china shop anyway, and the woods here are just too noisy--it's unbelieveable how much noise even squirrels make scampering around. Not to say it can't be done here, I just haven't figured it out. It doesn't help that our deer seem to be super nervous either.
I like to set up on trails--to feeding areas and bedding areas. Bottlenecks and/or well used trails are my favorite. Seasonal feeding spots--such as white oaks when the acorns drop can work as long as the acorns last. Mr. Warren Womack has a no-nonsense video on what works for him. Mr. Womack is a super nice fellow with over 200 bow-killed deer under his belt. If you need info on contacting him, just let me know. His video isn't a bunch of fluff and advertising--it's killing deer with a bow, and he explains what works for him. He also has a great segment on what he calls "field quartering"--he goes way back in the woods, and brings out the meat in an ALICE pack.
