Default RE: Still Hunting questions

I like to still hunt when the right conditions present themself. I usually wait to still hunt when the ground is wet after a rain or even in a light rain, you can sneak along more easily & cover more ground. The best time to still hunt though in my opinion is when the ground is snow covered, especially after fresh snow. The reason being is not only is it quiet but you can see the deer much better & also you can use their fresh tracks in the fresh snow to move in on deer that you know are just up ahead.

Another tactic that I have had success with is if your in an area with terrain that has steep edges or short cliff like walls, you can sneak over to the edge & see deer lots of times standing or even bedded on the bench below.

Patience, moving slowly & quietly, & keeping your eyes open are the biggest keys when you still hunt. Hope this helped good luck!!

Get your kids in the woods & off the streets !!
