RE: Stalk hunting...what a blast this morning.
I love to do it with a gun in my hand. 2 seasons ago I got within 20 yds of a bedded spike buck. I have grown a little tired of the sitting forever. I'm hoping someday to get good enough at tracking to try it with a bow.
It's not always about getting a deer. A hunt like you had today will be a fond memory for the rest of your life.
