I do really good with stalking. Remember that there is good noise and bad noise.

Wet days is the norm thinking for stalking, but I do better in dry. I walk about 8 to 10, slow, evenly spaced steps. I then pause and listen for about 20 seconds. Continue with a slow walk and stop. Every 6 to 10 times, do a light grunt call. Try to sound like a casually walking deer. Some deer scent on the bottom of your pants doesn't hurt.

Got 2 moose the same way, and half my deer. Remember there is good noise and bad noise. If you make a loud branch break noise, that is the time to stop and do a grunt. If you make a bad sound like a metal bang from your gun against something, you messed up and sit on a log for a while to let things relax for a while.

It is a slow steady pace. Budget a few hours to travel what you would do in a half hour of walking at a normal/fast pace. If all goes good, by stopping and listening, you sould hear the deer step before you see it. If you hear it step, then go dead quite, just get ready. Let it start walking, hopefuly it will move for an easy shot.
