A man that wastes time raking leaves isn't a still hunter. That's a man that is clearing a path to a stand or a blind. Most the really good still hunters I've ever met don't simply walk down any path. They go where the hunt takes them and they shoot deer where they find the deer and they are often nowhere near a path. Maybe that guy has "well Trained" deer that stick to the paths he maintains?
