At least here in Louisiana, hunting from a stand is classified as "still hunting", but when hunters use the term they are really referring to what iSnipe is talking about.
I still hunt during gun season as much as possible, but down here in SE Louisiana the underbrush is so thick that it is hard to find an area to do it in. And with all the hurricanes that blew through here in the past years, the woods are a nightmare scenario. BUT, I still try.
Basically I just stalk the woods, taking 2 or 3 steps (very slowly), then stop and spend several minutes watching and listening for any movement, often with bino's. I think a big misconception with some people is thinking you have to be 100% silent. I haven't found that to be true. You have to remember that lots of other animals are out there walking around, especially hogs. Anybody who has heard a hog bulldozing through the underbrush knows they are noisy. The trick for me is to sound like other wildlife, not a person. People have a tendency to walk a steady pace through the woods. That is a dead giveaway. If you take a few steps and stop, then even if a hog or deer hear something, they won’t necessarily bolt. They will probably stop and scan the woods and try and pinpoint where the noise is coming from, and if you are working the woods very slowly then it will work to your advantage. And if you step on a limb and crack it, don't worry about it, just stop and hold your position for 5 minutes or so and watch the woods.
That is how I do it, but I always like to hear other people's strategies.
