i LOVE still hunting/stalking deer. My favorite thing to do. Its the only thing i do with a gun, and about half of my bow hunting i still hunt. Rainy days are the best, a little wind helps. The rain really makes it quiet. If your walking more than 3 yards in about 3 minutes your going to fast, for bowhunting. For gun i will go about 10 yards in about 2. Just because i have much more range with a rifle. After you get good you can regularly get under 30 yards from a deer in good conditions. Use any obstruction you can between you and the deer to get close.
