Hope others had better luck then I. Saw a couple of deer asses running away from me but I blame that on the damn crunchieness of the ground. With the holidays, maybe I catch one in Ma
Even when the ground isn't crunchy, you're just not going to sneak up on a deer. Get into your stand well before sunrise and let them come to you.

I'm a newbie. I've got 3 from a treestand in a year, and jumped a couple in my early scouting. I can't imagine the patience it takes to still hunt with a shotgun or bow. Maybe a rifle and binocs would help.
Still hunting to me means travelling off the beaten path and having a buddy to help the get the deer out. I've been alone, so've gone no more than 500 yards from my vehicle.
I guess it's all about the way you like to, or have to, hunt.

The truth about still hunting is that most people do not have the patience for it.
Silly question: Isn't stand hunting still hunting?
I'd like to say I still hunt to my stand, but I'm usually in a hurry to get set and comfortable.
