I ground hunt mucho. Talk about a challenge. You must use all the elements of stealth. Always play the wind, move at a snails pace and observe everything in your field of vision. Someday you will come within that magic zone. Then you have the option: shoot or let pass. I usually decide to pass but when I do I always let the deer know I have successfully arrived in their playground. I merely speak softly and say,"hello deer'! Talk about a rush. They often just stare in what looks like disbelief. If I could only figure out what is going thru their minds at that moment? On the walk back to realityville I have visions of them getting together with their buddies and saying that "I met this mailman in the grotto today, fully armed and he did'nt go postal on me". "Talk about one layed-back dude".
