Stalking is one of those things that is difficult to accomplish but shweeeet when it works in your favor.

I have bagged only one deer on the ground with a bow. It was on my way out and I was walking out with my buddy while he dragged a small doe. He didn' t really need any help so as we happened upon two deer I was ready within a minute to shoot.

A minute is quite a long time in the sheme of things but it was pretty dark and they just would not leave. They just stood there and I aimed for the white on her neck.

I hit her and dropped her in her tracks. Don' t ask where I hit her, you can figure that one out.

Anyway, that was really a lucky situation, I was quiet and downwind but in most situations you have to be constantly ready and very patient.

Don' t let them see you before you see them. That is paramount in stalking deer.

Good Luck! The rut' s is just about here!!
