RE: Stalk or sit?
I hunt primarily in southeasternAlabama, and sometimes in south-central Arkansas.It is very difficult if not impossible to do what is referred to as "spot and stalk" hunting in the areas I hunt. Just too heaviily wooded or thick with head waist to head high brush, or understory.You can't spot much when about as far as you can see is maybe 100 yards. Even if you could, the stalking would be tough because you are already starting out pretty darn close and it is rare that you can keep an eye on the game as you move in cloiser, playing the wind and using theterrain, etc. "Kicking" something up generally does not pan out either because a deer need onlybust out and go 100 yards, sometimes less, and be long outof sight and headed to who knows where. So I scout and scout and scout. Probsably spend 4-1 times scouting to hunting. Then locate a climber, ladder, lock-on or ground blind where I think I will see deer ... and wait.
