I have only known how to hunt by still hunting. It was taught to me as a kid and it is all I have ever know. Plus I am ADD, I have to know what is on the other side of that ridge. I have caught bucks in their beds and elk where people don't think they are. But you have to be prepared to walk at a very slow pace from sunup to sundown. Some days elk hunting I will slowly walk around 15 miles. I hate to sit for very long, I have seen guys sitting by a tree and 4 hrs later go by them sitting at the same tree. Ask them if they have seen anything and they reply no. But I also understand that some areas don't work to still hunt and I tried a treestand once bear hunting and about went nuts, I admire you guys that can sit there all day and not move.
