Hunting isn’t just about the weapon. It’s about reading the land and knowing your own limits. Sometimes the best shot comes after hours of sitting still. Other times, it means covering miles with careful, deliberate steps. The key is knowing when to do which.
Sitting works when animals are moving. At dawn and dusk, near food or water, you post up and wait. Stay downwind. Keep still. Let the woods come alive. Patience is your weapon.
Stalking is different. It’s proactive. It’s for when the sign is fresh or you know a bedding area. You move like a ghost. One slow step, then freeze. Binoculars up. Watch. Listen. Wind in your face. Every branch, every crunch of leaves—you feel it. You’re not just in the woods. You’re part of them.
Terrain matters. Dense brush favors sitting. Open hardwoods? Great for still-hunting. Hills give you glassing opportunities. Use elevation when you can.
Your mindset matters too. If you’re twitchy, tired, or impatient, stalking is a bad idea. You’ll blow it. Sit. Calm your breathing. If you’re alert and dialed in, start moving. Let the sign guide you. Fresh scat, broken branches, a rub—they all tell a story. Follow it.
Don’t get locked into one style. Hunt the way the day demands.
