Had a good still hunt a couple of weeks ago. Was turkey hunting, and trying to hunt one up. What I found was deer. Coulda filled the freezer, IF I was deer hunting. Even the one that saw me must watched me sidle off without spooking.
Very seldom is my hunting area free enough from human activity to make the technique effective and safe. Not only hunters, but dog walkers and folks just out for stroll pop up even pretty far back. I have popped a couple with my crossbow sneaking in and out of the place I wanted to sit and watch from, both pretty close shots. Both of those deer saw me, but thought they were invisible. Wrong!
