Gives the impression of a creature with more than two legs. Then he combines that with varying levels of pauses. Claims to have been able to walk up on a lot of deer this way, including bow kills in beds. I haven't tried it yet but I may mess around with it scouting this weekend.
Which book? And do you recommend?

This may be in conjunction with using environmental noise, be it wind, cars passing or airplanes above. Also, as your approaching your stand, pausing and scanning as far out as you can see. Although this video is related to martial arts, it applies to hunting using a heel-toe technique. There's also a toe 1st technique, and a squirrel walk (rustle-4-5 steps-rustle) etc.

I’m actually planning on trying that this season. Makes a ton of sense. May go with a push-button just for consistency. Sounds like it could possibly save a hunt, especially on calm days walking through dry leaves. I think I’d only use it when I stepped wrong. Wouldn’t want to draw any attention to myself unless I’m trying to throw him off a bit. Thoughts?

Yea i think they used it more if they spooked a deer or came across one in the timber and seemed to calm them back down!
