The last few years it seems that we have had less and less snow in our area during the hunting season.
the last few years I’ve done a lot more still hunting, and Ive become very intrigued with trying to get better at it, and I’m eager to learn as much as I can about this “skill” or technique.
if you so desire please add what you think are keys to being successful.
Such as, but not limited to;
What technique you use.
What do you wear, clothes, footwear?
Where do you like to Still Hunt? What attracts you to a certain area? What type of area has your best success been?
How do you move from place to place? You are the most vulnerable to detection while you are moving. More often than not you are in dry leaves.
Do you mimic a deer to cover the sound of your movements? Do you take steps to sound like the cadence of a deer’s steps?
I recently watched a video with Joe DiNitto (an Adirondack Deer Hunter) and he had a lot of great tips, but one that should out to me was when he was close and how he approached while being ready to shoot.
He stated that when he felt he was close, he would take one step at a time with his left shoulder (non-dominate) leading the way so if a deer were to appear, either to his right or left, he would have the ability to shoot in either direction.
I would love to have anyone to share any tips, and such that would help someone be successful in this endeavor.
Anything else that you feel is important is gladly excepted.
Im looking forward to your replies.
