RE: Still Hunting
I hunt from the ground most of the time. Conditions permitting, I REALLY enjoy stillhunting. It's a more difficult game, though the excitement doesn't compare with sitting in a tree. I spook my share of deer that way, but manage to take one every year or two. Small doe this season, 8-pt two seasons before that, another buck the year before that, and so on. Great sport in it.

However make sure you get within 50 yds cause if you shoot him too far off its not hunting it's shooting. LOL

EAAAAAASY there big fella......let's get one thing very clear right now. I NEVER said that long distance kills were not hunting. Don't put words in my mouth. I said that long distance whacks are more dependent on shooting skill then hunting skill. As long as an animal is taken legally it is hunting to me and that person is a fellow hunter.

I like still hunting with bow durring late season, when there is snow on the ground. I got a doe late december from the ground. Great feeling. I actually saw the doe walking towards me from about 80 yards, and when she got 20 yards out, turned broadside, and that was it.

RE: Still Hunting
I love still-hunting. I believe it's the hardest way to hunt. It can be the most exciting. There's no better feeling than when you make something happen, and I love jump-shooting deer or walking up on them in their beds. I spend a lot of time making drives which are no more than organized still hunts. My other favorite method of hunting is 25-30 feet up in a tall tree in a 7-8 year old clearcut.
