Hunt from a stand or still hunt?

Unread postby PLB » Mon Dec 10, 2012 4:20 am

Last day of antlerless. Snow is falling. East winds at 15. Do you think they will hunker down and not move or should I sit in my LW? I was thinking about still hunting into the wind and trying for one thats bedded down. Thoughts??

I would still hunt if hunting with a firearm.

Put on the whites and do some stalking.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

I vote still hunt. I'm not very good sitting still this time of year. OK anytime.

I am guessing you are gone so know I am curious what you decided.

Gun, late season, last ditch effort, think that deer won't be moving? I'd definitely be stalking especially if I thought conditions allowed to be quiet when trying to setup on something.

I ended up still hunting and ran a doe by a guy at 330 and he killed her. He wasn't there when I parked. I had a blast though! Found a buck bed and really learned the lay of the property better. Real good afternoon in the woods!!

I really enjoy still hunting in fresh snow. Sure feels good to get out and explore after spending all fall on stand.

Sounds like a good hunt. 8-)
