Stalking Deer
 

I have never had success stalking deer, but would like to learn to take deer by stalking from time to time. If you have a successful technique, please share. How do you go about it? What areas are best? What time of day is best? What part of the season?

Thanks.

Don't know if this is stalking or still hunting but,
-early bow season, in september
-walking into the wind
-through thick pines (pine needles are quiet to walk on)

Basicly I just walked slowly through low, thick pines and every few steps I would drop down and watch around me. And then I would hear a deer walking before I would see it, and be able to get ready for the shot. Then, when I saw it, I would decide if that was the right deer.
I've seen many does this way, most never knew I was there even though they were very close.

The best place and time for this is after it rains, and in a field of standing corn. Just look or a flicker of a tail, an eye, or ear. Anything that would give away a bedded deer, then walk up and get him.
I've never done that but I watched Guy and Dan Fitzgerald make it look real easy on TV :). They have a video on it I think.

"Hey ya'll, watch this"
