Early season white tail I hunt from a tree stand on a good trail heading to a field, or sit in the
brush on a fence line. Late buck, during the rut, I still hunt...moving inches per minute, and sitting or standing for 5 min to an hour at a time in key locations. There is nothing quite like
having to freeze in mid step for a half an hour while a buck looks around and sniffs and trys
to figure out what doesn't quite fit, all within 10 feet of you! You can't move, your back aches from holding your foot in mid air for so long, and even though the deer is close enough to touch, you have zero chance at getting him because if you blink, he's gone. Oh, that is another trick, when deer are close and looking at you, even if you have a mask on, squint your eyes so you can barely see out, that way if you do blink, it is nearly undetected.
Fun stuff!
