Go slow and move increments. When im hunting i always like to move slow. Even when im hunting from a treestand i take the opprotunity to spot and stalk on my way in, even in the dark. hear me out

Depending on where your hunting is the most important. I hunt a large variety of places from urban settings with small 5 acre lots, to large tracts of forest that can be in the Millions of acres. I like to move slow and watch as im walking but i also like to set a distance or a mark. Meaning if im walking slow and looking and i see a down tree ahead i will make a point to stop at that tree and glass for a second. Most pray animals rely on your movement, smell and sound to catch you. if the wind is in your favor and your moving slow enough not to make much noise then its about movement. IF you stop and sit still every couple hundred fit you blend back in, some times this can make deer jump to there feet and expose themselves. I have been very successful with this method. Sometimes they will just sit back and watch, but once you stop and stayed stoped for a few minutes they lose you(dont move a muscle is stopped, or get behind cover to glass) I have had many of deer and Elk get nervous cause they lost sight of me, they get up or move, this exposes them. I had small 4X4 elk last season only 60 yards from me and he stayed bedded, i stopped behind a young pine to look and about 2 mins later i noticed him standing looking for me, he was going to let me walk by, but instead he got nervouse. WHITETAILS are notorious for doing this. They will let you walk right by them and assume you dont seem them and most of the time you wont. IT also works in the dark(not for shooting of course) but if you stop you then become more like an animal and less like a human. I have even grunted in the dark and pretending to be a deer to keep deer that i kicked up from going far, i even made a scape on morning on the edge of a field on morning after i spooked the deer, i sat still and a buck came in looking fo the challenge in the dark, it turned light enough to shoot and he was broadside at 20yards.
