How Do You Still Hunt For Whitetail Deer?
There are many ways to hunt deer, but none are as difficult as still hunting. Still hunting is moving slowly through the woods, looking for deer, and being able to shoot one before they see you! Beat their nose. Make sure that you are as scent free as possible. Use some kind of scent elimination spray, and a good cover scent. Choosing a natural odor such as pine or acorn scent (depending on your surroundings) is good early in the season. After the rut kicks in, you can change over to a sex scent, like a good doe in heat scent. Walk into the wind. You should have the wind in your face. Pick a path that will keep the wind right. In the event of changing wind, make sure to change directions. It is very difficult to cover your scent enough to be able to walk with the wind. Deer will smell you, and bolt before you ever have a chance to see them! Walk quietly. Put the heel of your boot down first, and roll your foot toward the toe. Watch every step, and make sure that you are not stepping on
