99% of the time I hunt out of permanent stands. But if it is windy out, I can't help but be constantly looking around at every noise. It drives me crazy. So, I get down at that point, take my best guess at where the deer are, use the wind in my favor and sneak up on them.

To be honest though, I've never been able to take a deer this way with a bow, but you always seem to learn something about them while you're sneaking through their area.

My other favorite, which I don't get to do very often is to stalk them in the snow. Especially about a one or two inch quiet snow. You can see a bucks tracks due to him dragging his feet. But any deeper and doe tracks will appear to be doing the same thing.
