Ok if you want to still hunt I'll tell you what works for me, but I caution you I had to get really old and slow before it worked well.
Hunt into the wind. In heavy leaf cover step down toe first, never take an even number of steps. Stop often, and look sharply all around, then squat and do it all over agin. Spend at LEAST 3 times as much time lookin' as you do walkin' and more is better. Most of the old bucks will slip out behind you, so keep a sharp eye on where you've been.
