Tracker0721:
3-7 steps, hunker by a bush or stump and look and listen. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Step on a twig or something loud stop and look. A small pair of binos or a monocular are amazing for this method. If making noise while making bring a turkey call, doe bleat, buck grunt, something to take some of the edge off anything hearing you. Yesterday I was stalking through crunchy snow(love snow but it ruins stalking) and I was doing doe bleats every so often on my way to trail crossing and I looked to my left and there was a buck walking parallel to me on the ridge maybe 50 yards away. He didn't even stop for the bleat so I kept going hoping we'd meet up at the crossing and he never even looked at me crunching and bleating a bit behind him in the draw. He got to the crossing before me so I have a soft grunt and he started coming back! But then a doe that musta been in heat walked past about 75 yards off and he turned on a dime and started chasing her.
