Finally, sumthin' to sink a tooth into. I love still huntin'. Bout as good as it gets. There's differnt ways to go 'bout it, dependin' on the weather an terrain. Ifn you got fresh snow, thet's good an' quiet, then follerin' fresh tracks real slow an' hopin' to catch a bull beddin' down is a good deal. Stay in the timber, NEVER go into the open. The barley field will merit checkin' an' watch well used trails headin' to 'em. Lackin' snow, I'd find the best used trail around an' head away from the feedin' area into the wind in the mornin'. Go slower than you think you should, an' slower still when you git thet feelin' thet there's game close by. I never take more an' 4 slow steps 'thout stoppin', an' I stand longer then I walk, checkin' ever single area around me completely. Also, always start with yer right foot if yer right handed, and take an even number of steps. Thet way yer feet are in shootin' position when you stop. All the action happens when yer stopped, or so it seems. Raise yer rifle slow an' don't make noise releasin' the safety. Dress in wool. Dress in wool. Dress in wool. Don't wear no fancy rain suits or scratchy nylon backpacks. Dress in wool. Use good boots thet you can manuever quietly. Dress in wool. Keep yer scope on a low power setting. And always, without fail dress in wool.
