Since those days I'll killed several deer with a bow still hunting and now usually use a gun. However, I had fun either way and now wonder how you guys go about still hunting...
What tips, opinions, advice or methods do you guys use to kill your deer while stillhunting?
My experiences has shown that many deer are on their feet during high winds and they are vulnerable to be still hunted. All the looser foliage and limbs are moving around. The woods are noisy and the winds have a tendency to be more straight-line being more predictable. So it's easier to fool their eyes, ears and nose during that time.
