Default RE: ground hunting

Ground hunting is the only way I hunt. I like stalking them as it has proved to me it is easier to get a shot. When sitting I have been busted way to many times, although it is very enjoyable being able to look into a deers eye at ground level. When stalking and you come up on one a deer seems to stop and look for a few seconds as if to see what the heck you are. This giving you a shot. The hardest part is guessing your range, which,
makes stalking all the more difficult. You have no markers or anything to guess and only a short time to get that shot out. To date I have shot four deer stalking with my bow. Most folks around here find that amazing to be able to stalk any deer with a bow. But, like txjourneyman said " it's a great feeling when all works out" the enjoyment of success is a wonderful feeling. Good Luck on your quest.
