everyone gave good advice. i go slow(also cuts down on sweating..i could walk naked and still work up a sweat walking to my stand..carrying 30lbs on my back and bow in my hands) and i stop every couple feet. one guy i hunted with walked painfully slow. took like an hour to go a couple hundred yards. it was breaking daylight when we were moving in. we stopped every few steps and he grunted along the way every so often. whatever he did worked..i killed my first deer that day!
