Default RE: Spot & Stalk

This is my first year bow hunting, but I have hunted mulies with a rifle and have been scouting them for years using spot and stalk method. You are going to get busted more often then not. Like others have said move slowly. If you are busted, drop to the ground and lay down. Don't move a muscle.The deer will slowly walk away and find close cover a lot of the time. Back out a ways until you can find another approach angle. I have waited well over an hour on several occations beforeI could move again without spooking the deer.Good camo helps.The only part of my body not in camo is mytrigger or release hand. I have had a lot of deer confused on what I was and theycome close to get a better view. I had a doe come within 20 yards of me about a month and a half ago. She was real curious as to what I was. I also like to get within range ofheavy coverthat I think deer are in and make a small sound to see if anything is in it. I first wait a while. Then I throw a small rockas far away as I can to make just a littlesound. This can get a beddeddeer up. That is how I got my whitetailbuck last year during rifle season.

I may learn a little more in the next couple days. Speed Goat season opens tomorrow and am hoping to put a stalk on a couple with my bow. Sunrise can't come soon enough.
