Sit or stalk.
« on: October 20, 2012, 05:43:30 PM »
Hello All!

Im relatively new to the area and was under the impression that everyone stalk hunted here. However, I've been reading through the forum and it appears that may not be true.

I've been out hunting since bear season opened and haven't seen a deer in he woods since spring turkey season. I was hoping this would change with the cooler weather but then the wind kicked up. In the south I would have just put my climbing tree stand up higher and hoped the deer wouldn't wind me.

So I gues my question is do you stalk or sit? Does this change when the wind picks up? Also I don't have access to my tree stand. Does anyone use these up here?

I have been hunting in Sherman Creek during the week.

I normally sit somewhere that I can glass for a good distance. From there i will make planned stalks. There are times I will just blindly stalk around, but I try not to. It's too easy to push animals out of the area.

Sitting is probably going to be the most effective if you are hunting for whitetail in the Colville National Forest.
