Most people still hunt by walking 10-30 yards pretty slowly and then stopping for a few minutes, then repeat.
I prefer sitting in a tree stand in a good location. Everytime I still hunt I have the feeling that the deer are crossing my trail behind me. Although two of the last times I was at my hunt club I was within bow range of a deer while I was on the ground - it just wasn't hunting season.
