It seems today we don't see a lot on the subject of still hunting. I know it would be difficult to film hence the lack of shows depicting it, but I'm sure there are many among us who use the technique successfully on a regular basis. So what say you? Is it a lost art? A thing of the past? Or is it an effective tool you use regularly.
I still hunt most of the time. I'm not a good stand sitter and get anxious shortly. I've always been that way. I'd rather be moving, albeit very slowly, than sitting.
I've applied the principles of still hunting to heavy cover as well as open country. In open country I've always tried to use terrain to my advantage but the technique is much the same.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject. Thanks guys.
It's not entirely a thing of the past but from what Ive seen not as many do it as they used to. I'd say its getting to be a lost art.
Shrinking areas to hunt that way are part of it, changes in other ways to hunt effectively are another (tree stands for whitetails; better LR optics and capabilities for elk; etc.), and it is damned hard to still hunt well and effectively as it takes a LOT of practice.
