This will be my first year bow hunting but we have hunted from brush ground blinds only with flintlocks. We always hunt primitive. Mocs, leggins, 1nd 1700's atire.

I hunt from the ground, from blinds , from stands, from water , from canoes, still hunting , stalking... whatever puts me close enough to my prey for a lethal shot.. for me the hunt is what it is all about.. a harvest is just the icing on the cake so to speak..patience is not a virtue it is a stalking technique..

Have some fun with this when moving.
 - into the wind
 - softly place foot toe-first, pause, place heel. If you feel a twig you can avoid the snap.
 - no cadence - you want to sound like a foraging deer
 
Been doing this since I was kid; learned it from a Native American dance. Every season I have a couple of bucks come looking for me!!
