This year will be a little different. I'm staying in and cutting out a whole bunch of time and energy spent hiking in and out each day.

Wake up early, and hike in. Spend all day still hunting/hiking/glassing, then hike out at dark. On day four, usually it's time for an easier day, but on day 5 it's back to the regularly scheduled program.thats what i have been doing i am packed in a few miles and stay the last week and all of extended buck, i will tell you this it has made huntn alot more fun and enjoyable. i dont know why but i see a ton of game being packed way in there, maybe because i am more relaxed and aint wore the hell out from hiking my ass off before it gets light.

All that said, I am looking into doing a high hunt this fall so long as I can get the time away from my job and don't draw my BT rut tag.

Im a big still hunter its always worked good for me over here on the west side. I havnt built up the confidence or patience in my glassing to sit on a spot all day I dont know what the deal is but I can spot deer with my bare eyes at 300 yards but I cant see *censored* with my binoculars for some reason :dunno: So I typically trudge on all day and just keep moving, I see a good amount of animals doing this but it wears me out quick.

I picked option 2, the pick a spot and stay there sun up to sun down. Sometimes ill switch between two or three spots, but that's far from moving around all day.

You're going to have your hands full if you plan to start pointing out punctuation issues!
I picked move from spot to spot, but it really depends on where I am hunting. At times, I hunt all day in the same area.

We usually find us a spot to be sitting when daylight hits and stay there for a few hours. Then I will slowly hike around a bit to see if I can scare something up. There are days when we will move from one spot to the other in a vehicle and happen to run in to some deer. I'm not afraid to say I've shot a couple of deer doing that. But there is nothing like sitting in a nice spot where you can glass a hillside at daybreak. Nothing in the world like it.
:yeah: I usually get to a spot before the sun comes up and then shivvvvvvverrrrrrr while Im waiting for the sun to come up and warm my fat assssssssss...... :chuckle:

well said, as i have also waited in a spot till daylight many a time, and shivered so hard that it made my back ache :chuckle:and thats with all the new gear and such, its only fitting that we suffer a bit to play the game, i would have it no other wayWe usually find us a spot to be sitting when daylight hits and stay there for a few hours.

I prefer to hike in the dark for an hour or so to an area that looked nice to me prior to the season. I let the land dictate where I go when it gets light out. I like to sit and glass a nice area then go get a different view of the same area. If nothing hits my eye I move on. I'm what you call an A.D.D. hunter.i do the same thing, except i dont hike anymore i now have a spot way the hell in gone in there where i have a camp set up, that way i can sleep a little longer and can still get up have a hot cup of coffee or a diet coke, and i will wait till day light and then just see where the day takes me.

A.D.D. = after Dumb Deer? :chuckle:
LOL, no, attention deficit disorder. The deer I try to hunt are usually to smart for me.
Post by: jackmaster on February 09, 2011, 07:11:21 AM
Why is there no "Spot & Stalk" option? Or a "Still Hunt" option? The choices appear to be mostly road hunter options unless you hike to a tree stand.that would fall under the " hunt one spot daylight to dark" option
