3. Will breaking stalk - this is where you stalk an animal over great distances. You'll need to have access to a lot of land and snow definitely helps. Over the course of the stalk, the animal learns that you are stalking him. Each time you see each other, he learns that he hasn't been harmed. Eventually he'll let you get closer and closer, as he is becoming curious about his stalker and the persistence is something he's never experienced before. Eventually you will break his will and you'll get a shot, but probably not with a bow, and it will take all day.
Just curious if others have tried hunting like this?
I've only had an opportunity to try this once (don't hunt too many big areas), but the deer ended up going into a huge feeding area and I could not follow tracks from there.
Do the deer actually get used to you trailing them and allow you to get closer?
