Lots of good info. I do like John Nail and leave my human self at the entrance to the woods. You have to become one with Nature to be the best predator you can be. Watch a cat stalk up on a mouse in a field. It's not like they can hide behind a blade of grass, but they sure seem to do just that, don't they? That and they never move, not a muscle, when they can see the eyes of their prey. Over the eons, man has observed and learned from the other animals and things havn't changed much. We still have to learn from watching those animals we are trying to hunt and the ones we are trying to emulate.

Practice still hunting. Preferably in someone elses hunting area, lol. Practice on rabbits, squirrels and whatever else you can find to stalk up on. Take your bow and do some stumping/small game hunting while you're at it.

It all boils down to learning your quarry, the environment and yourself. For a quick kickstart on still hunting, I highly recommend getting Asbels book on the subject. It's well worth the read.
