Your Hunting Style

Then root around laying the grass in the middle down and turn over the soil. The grass is high enough i can curl up in my little man nest, and never be seen. Cleaned of sticks, leaves, and grass in the middle i can fidget without a sound. I hunt with my ears. I stay low until i hear something. Then peek up usually to see an armadillo.

"I hunt with my ears." I know with turkey hunting I often sit as still as possible and pour as much concentration into listening as I possibly can. Especially if the bird is coming in from behind me. The more you try to see things, the more you move. Your movement will bust you more times than than not.

Don't be afraid to try some calls too. I've gotten shooting at does using a predator calls. Just be ready to defend yourself as they come running to see what's there or help the distressed I'm not sure. I use this from the ground when up close to them. Bucks don't want anything to do with this calling.

Crazy never heard of that before, so like a fawn bleat? OR dying rabbit?

Really good point, and I wonder if this ever happens to anyone else. Have you ever been out in the quiet so long, and become so concentrated on every sound that you start to hear slight squeaks or rasp in your breath? I'm talking sounds you would never hear otherwise. Where you have to hold your breath just to be sure it wasnt leaves or brush rustling off in the distant. When Im out hunting with a rifle, this starts to happen to me about day 3 or 4.
I'm really hoping I can get something with a bow this year, I'm going to keep all this tactics in mind and try them out.

Twice I've had nice bucks come into me at close range while predator calling. I was using a old Johnny Stewart rabbit in distress call. I know my brother has had them come into his electronic call while predator calling to. I've never actually tried it though while deer hunting.
