so cruising stubble fields on a quad is frowned upon?  pretty effective, though...   :angel:

As a lot of you know I scout hard all summer and keep journal and goggle map and the new cabala's gps program on my phone with sighting time patterns and beeding area. So my hunting style is a lot of glassing and spotting scope time. Most of the time I am bettween them from there feeding areas to watering holes or bedding areas. If that doesn't pan out then to a highest  top and start picking through the sage  bedding area with my spotting scope and finding the best way for a spot and stock

Find a good spot and watch the trails. Let the other hunters kick the deer around. It's worked pretty good for me so far

I only stalk once I spot. If I know a high point is in a good area, ill be up there all day long, from before sunrise to after sunset.

Scout early and often, then quick and clean sit and wait pistol hunting blacktails.  Spot and stalk is sexier though.

I always say i am going to sit and glass a while but my curiosity gets me and i go check out what is over the next ridge.  So i usually walk and try to find them.  I have shot most of my bucks by just coming over the crest of a hill and there they are less then fifty yards in front of me.

Spot and stalk, but if I'm somewhere where other hunters will ruin my scouting I'll still hunt.
When I was younger in the 80's and 90's and hunting the Snake and Salmon river breaks of WA, OR, and ID it was "Search and Destroy". Coon one canyon after another until I found something I couldn't pass. It was nice to be young and hike your way away from hunting pressure.
