. When taking out a new hunter it is hard to beat this tactic. Last two years for youth season took my niece out and hunted spot & stalk like this. Very exciting and no time to be bored. She scored both years. Absolutely nothing wrong with sitting in a blind,spot & stalk does teach more though.

ya i but though that deer bed on south facing slopes no matter where the wind is coming from in WINTER

If the wind is howln they are gona get outa the wind. A cold strong wind will suck the energy right out of a deer. Pine plantations are another good spot to get outa the wind.
