RE: Stillhunting questions
 

Lots of variables, but a rule of thumb is about 100 yards per hour. I usually move about 10 yards at a time, between stops. You're basically going from stand to stand. It's been mentioned already, but one of the key times in still hunting is when you clear a break in the landscape, and open up a new view. You have to be totally on point with your rifle, and widen your vision to pick up movement. A bedded deer will usually give you a shot if you're quick. Another tip is the fox step. You lift your foot, come down on the toe, and then let your heel down. It makes kind of a double crunch, sounds like four feet instead of two. It goes without saying that you need to minimize your own movement, just as if you were on stand. Don't be swinging your rifle around, screwing around with your equipment, etc. If you do need to make a clothing adjustment or whatever, hide yourself to do it.
