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.

Walk slowly trying not to being stepping 0n heavy leafs and twigs.. .......Stop and look around for a minute or two and walk slowly again.....Just keep doing it until you get tired.....

Predators are the only ones that walk a constant walk when looking for food.......
