Postman:
make sure you stagger your footsteps. lots of things make noise in the woods, but few make noise "In rhythm " when walking.  i find 3-4 steps, stop, look listen, wait.....wait some more, repeat works good. I often "bust" squirrels walking in to my ambush spots. I also try to use rocks and logs as bridges over the leaves and adjust my route to utilize them

johnston:
The more time you spend actually in the woods the better...go slow. I mean real slow when stalking.... If it ain't worth crawling for don't bother....songbirds are good practice, try to catch one with your hand....get in the woods at night without a light , it is a whole 'nother world.

If you have woodchucks where you live,try an stalk them into bow range, If you think your going slow then ya better slow down, Don,t underestimate a woodchucks scenting abilitys, especiaaly an ole survivor, after a summer of stalking these deer will be a lot easier. ;D ;DBob
