Ahhhh...my favorite stillhunting weather! Throw in a light mist and I'm in hunting heaven. Sneaking through cornfields, slinking through wooded hollows, slipping through woodlots...I love it!

I've had my share of successes and close calls when stillhunting in the wind. Morning dew and a light breeze was all it took for me to sneak within 7 yards of a doe bedded up against a button bush on last season's opener. Then there was the time I arrowed one while sneaking along the edge of a cornfield. And once...well, you get the idea.

Ditch the stand, the belt, the pack, and peripheries. Grab you bow, quiver full of arrows, and some soft soled hunting boots and hit the ground runn...errrr...moving very slowly. Two things that may help your hunt are binocs (for scanning the shadows of close thickets, 10-50yds...is that dark spot in there a deer or a log?), and a pair of hand snips to clear your path of rose thorns as you slip along. Go for it and have yourself a ball!
