Whats your hunting style?

[BigTines]

So we know everybody has their own style of hunting mule deer. Which one is the best? Do you walk slowly all day? sit all day? Some of both? Walk the ridges? Bottoms? Glass? Which method have you shot most of your deer?

[seth30]

I prefer to either sit in a spot that has heavy traffic, or slowly walk a ridge.  Every hundred yards stop sit down glass for 30 minutes and repeat.

I am a spot and stalk type of guy. I like to be on the highest ridge or best vantage point at first light glassing and hopefully finding them. If that doesn't work, I will then slowly move from ridge to ridge repeating the same process.

Scout until we get weather, and then meet them in a nice little partial cut

Both:

Morning sit and watch areas I have picked out.

Afternoon on the move check out the spots I know they usually get pushed to

I hunt low pressure areas that we have spent a few years figuring out. Hike in before light to know bedding/feeding areas with great lines of sight then wait for them to wake up and/or bed depeding on condtions and activity. My wife and I harvested two bucks from the same general location both within 1/2 hour of shooting light. Not on the same day but back to back days on opening weekend.

I like spot and stalk the most.... But I've been just as successful sitting the am or pm away at a place I've picked out.... Just gotta keep telling myself to stay put and not wonder what's around the corner/ridge/ect.... Sometimes my wandering get's the best of me and it works out then sometimes as well....

Road hunt, nothing better than crusing around in the cab of a warm dry truck, make sure to have the maximum number of people that will fit in your rig along for the ride, makes the drag to the road easier.
A few good road hunting tips
1) Make sure to have a big thermos of coffee, nothing worse that having to drive back to camp for more.
2) Get a semi auto like a remington with the removable magazine (clip) easy to throw in when your bailing out of the truck, no hinged floor plates, they get in the way.
3) If you do use a bolt action, use a rubber band to hold open the bolt, hook it around the bolt and then the butt stock, nothing worse than having the bolt jiggle closed when your riding around on all those bumpy roads.
4) For a hot lunch, wrap a u-nuke-it burritto in foil and put it up on the defroster, it will be nice and warm come lunch time.
5) Dont forget to take your gun with you when you stop to pee (after all the coffee), nothing worse than missing the big one because your standing there holding the little one.
6) A money saving tip is to get a 30-06 and dont buy any ammo, just stop at every camp and ask if you can borrow a shell or two because you forgot
yours, heck you'll have a box or two after a few days.
7) Make sure to have the biggest scope you can afford and set it on the highest setting, that way you wont need a set of binos.
 Make sure to count all the bucks hanging so when you get home you can say i saw blankety, blankety # of bucks but nothing i could of shot at.

Spot and stalk.  I live and die by binos and spotting scope.

I love spot and stalk but if I had to pick a favorite method it would be still hunting. If I can glass a good area I'll spend hours on end doing it but I always have a desire to see what's just out of sight. I do think spot and stalk is a great way, maybe the best way to kill a big mule deer but it's just more fun for me to slowly cover a lot of ground.

[jeepguy]

get to a good vantage point a watch  the game trails ,let other guys push'em around  sometime 's i set up in my blind  and wait  pretty soon they show up .

[MAVsled]

One shot, one kill.

rifle or bow, that's my style.

[nalley112]

Vandeman... I do the exact same makes for most days seeing some good bucks... Sitting on the highest point give you the upper hand of overlooking more draws and gullys... Also I find the bucks just befor dark and got to the same spot I seen them the night before and start spot and stalk...

[grundy53]

Still hunting is my favorite. Followed by spot and stalk.
