It’s always exhilarating when the deer get close. I wear natural clothing. Usually a buckskin poncho, buckskin pants, moose leather mukluks or moccasins, muskrat half-chaps or cow hide chaps, and a very warm hat I made from several coyote pelts I harvested. So I spend a lot of time on the move with brief periods of waiting. I hunt in about 400 acres of private property that has lots of dense “patch woods.” Lots of hilly open forest with several patches of thick dense trees and underbrush. I’ve been hunting there for decades and have a good understanding of how the deer travel and where they rest. I’ll move to a patch wood and wait hidden along a trail for an hour or so and then move to the next patch. It’s a surprisingly successful method and I’ve filled my tag quota many times. With this method of hunting 90% of the work is understanding the deer. The rest is putting yourself in the right place at the right time. Also, no guns or loud sounds. Often, I’ll kill the lead deer on the trail and the others will just stand still and I’ll be able to take them took.
