I like to either skip or run with my arms straight out from my side and make propeller noises.  :tup:


That's the kind of top secret hunting info I've been looking for !!!!! :chuckle:

First thing I do is get my Bearmanric wolf howler out and let one rip.   Takes all the animals mind off of me and while they are looking for some fur I neak up on em.

I worry about scent as much as I do about sound.  Which means I do NOT want to sweat which means I go very, very slow. 

Also, I want to be in the stand an hour before first light which means I get up at about midnight this Sunday 
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Along with getting in and out quietly and under cover of darkness, I try to not brush up against any foliage as I get close to my stand. In some places that means doing a little trimming well before the season.

I used to try to sneak in quietly but now I go earlier in the dark and get up in my stand as quick as possible.  I then sit quiet and let things calm down for 45 minute to an hour before first light.  I decided it was just about impossible to get in un noticed, but animals will calm down and go about their routine after an hour of calm.  I do think it is true that a big smart buck may get the heck out of there if to much noise.

whitetails with that approach will never work on a big mature buck...I dont even hunt mornings in Sept due to the fact its almost impossible to get into the woods undetected..I hunt evenings only most of the time..rare instances that am works early

because what YOU see in the dark is extremely limited is NOT what a deer or elk sees...they can see quite aways in the dark and add some moon and they say a deer can see better than a human in the daylight...don't fool yourself that cause u think your not being seen  by going in the dark

I set my stand up last friday and Im heading into it for the first time tomorrow (work keeps me way to busy these days)

How about light? What do you guys think about the red or green lens or anything like that or do think it doesnt matter?
