Default Native american hunting methods

Does anyone know what methods the original bowhunters used for deer hunting?
I always think of them while hunting and admire their skill. I know I would have starved by now, even with all of this fancy new hunting gear.

I know one method that we cant use that they did , they skined out a deer and draped the skin and head over top of themselfs and stalked on hand and nea to shooting range . I have seen guys out west do a sneak behind a pronghorn decoy before though , kind of dangerous nowadays .

I can tell you this from experience, Do NOT try this. Especially while wearing doe estrous as after shave. I did not get my buck, but he got me!
I wonder if he'll call me?

Huntingirl89,

I am jealous of you and the Indian ways. I wish I could do the things
you and your family do. You are very special for learning the ways of your
elders. [:-]

Thank you huntingirl89,
It was your signature on a different post that prompted me to ask the question.
Now tell us more about "charming the deer"
