RE: Stillhunting questions
good choice on that hunt. with stillhunting, if you think you are walking slow enough, you aren't. A silent step with a 10 second pause is the fast version of true still hunting. A loud step means a longer wait. Hunt across the wind rather than into it, because you'll be moving so slow that deer ahead of you will get away, and deer behind you will turn off before they pass you if you are going with the wind in your face. As much scent protection as you can do. If possible, have the sun at your back, so you can see the deer better. Dress as warm as you would if stand hunting, because you really should be barely moving at all. Binoculars are a must, its often the first sight of a deer when stillhunting, and can keep you from moving when you shouldn't. The idea is to use movement to change your view, as the deer move to and around you (like when you're in a stand).
