Try to only still-hunt or stalk deer on windy days. If there is no wind, still-hunting or stalking are not great options. When the brush around you is blowing around it makes it much easier to move without being seen by deer. Windy days can hide the noise that you make and can also conceal your movements. The weather can also help you decide which hunting method to use on a specific day. For example, are you hunting a thick and nasty piece of timber that provides limited shot opportunities? If so, you probably shouldn’t still-hunt or stalk deer because it will be difficult to shoot a deer if you find one. The habitat of the land can also help you decide which hunting method to use. If you only plan on hunting a property once or twice, you can be more aggressive with your hunting tactics. This will help keep the deer using the property more regularly by keeping the hunting pressure low. For small pieces of private ground I suggest hunting from treestands and blinds. Also, you can’t cover a lot of ground unless you have hunting permission from the neighbors. Small tracks of private land can get overhunted very easily by stalking and still-hunting. If you have several groups of deer in different locations to hunt, spot-and-stalk might be the best hunting method for you. Large properties allow hunters to cover more ground and chase after deer wherever they go. For example, are you hunting a large piece of public ground or a small piece of private land? Public land hunters are more likely to stalk or still-hunt deer because they have more acres to work with. There are many reasons why one hunting method is more effective than another in a given situation. These mobile methods are spot-and-stalk, still-hunting, deer drives, dog hunting, and the “bump-and-dump”. However, mobile hunting methods are also very effective at killing deer. This can be achieved by hunting from fixed positions such as treestands, tripod stands, elevated platforms, tree saddles, ground blinds, and tower blinds. The most effective way to hunt deer is from a hidden position that is downwind of expected deer activity. It really just depends on your specific hunting situation. Even though the majority of hunters primarily use one or two methods for hunting, some of the less popular methods can be more effective at killing deer.
I have killed deer from the ground and from elevated positions. There are several effective ways to kill deer.
