99.9% of hunters arent patient enough to go slow enough........even in the timber, use binos as you proceed to each new view, no matter how small.  Look for ears/horns of bedded animals as that is often times all you will see at first.

If you see the animals before they are seeing you then you are going slow enough. If the animals are already looking at you or running when you see them you are going to fast.

 :yeah: yup if your bumping more than you are seeing your too fast...

When you think you are going slow enough go slower

In my 30's it was cover a lot of ground and bump and shoot - worked well.   As eye-sight fades and hearing drops off its really simple - you are only hunting when you are stopped.  Find a spot or go spot to spot.  No reason to waste a lot of time getting from spot to spot because you aren't hunting when moving anyway.
