Alrighty, I'm still new to bowhunting, going on 2 years. I use a tree stand and blind and havn't had much luck. I stalked a few times and was extremly close to a doe, but spooked her. Any suggestions on stalking? Is stalking any good? I know hunting from a stand is better, but I'm going on a hunting trip to some public archery only grounds here in MO. Theres about 6,000 acres, and I never been there. I want to see how the place is like, but don't know where to start. Any suggestions? I'll be hunting in December. When do they start shedding their antlers?
I would try stalking in high winds. I have only stalked one deer and that was with about 20 mph winds. You have to have the wind in your face and walk really slow. Where are you going hunting in MO? I also go to Missouri State and could maybe help you. Let me know.
Really?! What's ur name? I'm at the college right now in Strong Hall because i dont have a computer at my place. I live in Lebanon, but i think im gonna go to Callaway County to hunt the archery only land. Do ya wanna come? Im going by myself, my b/f doesn't bowhunt and he won't come. It's about 6,000+ acres, ARCHERY ONLY. Really good deer population.
