HOW TO STILL HUNT-Part 1 (Hunting Tactics #3 'Doing the 5 Step') 

For sure...I love it! Thanks for watching.

Yes Absolutely doable, silence and body oder play a bigger role than camo.

You gotta watch one of the videos that show how deer see the world. No matter what color you wear, they pretty much always see you as a dark green blob lol. I’d be careful wearing blue though, I hear they see that as very vibrant.

That will work, too. Thanks for watching!

@@SeedstoDreamsDeer I have walked up on deer like this 3 times in 31 years of squirrel hunting but never from trying to hunt deer on the ground with a bow or xbow. Would love to someday. Thanks for your video.

@@Dutch.1722 yeah, there is nothing like it. Each hunting season I usually have half a dozen encounters with deer at 5 yards or less while still hunting. Some have been bruiser bucks mostly on PA public. Unfortunately, I usually only risk videorecording when it is something I don't want to take a shot at...but it creates awesome memories. Take care!

@@SeedstoDreamsDeer So your technique, in a nut shell, be very quiet, move slowly 5 steps, and scan the area in front and to the side with binoculars. My question to you is how do you walk with the wind? Is it always to your face as you approach? I ask this as I am a sentloc believer. Made a huge pile of deer with this suit since 2005 and it sill works. But to hunt public in the Shawnee Forest its not practical to wear the suit for a mile walk and its cumbersome to put it in a pack with saddle and steps. So this year I don't want to use it when hunting in the bottoms. Thanks again. Amazing you can get within 5 yards of deer 12 times in the season.

@@Dutch.1722 usually half a dozen per hunting season but many more times throughout the year scouting. Yes, that's a pretty good sum of my method for beginners. After you use the five step for a while you start learning when and where to move and how much based on experience so at this point I am not really thinking number of steps. My senses of seeing and hearing are always on full alert. As I got better at still hunting I learned to not be a slave to the rules (# of steps, direction travelling, etc.) because terrain isn't linear and there are lots of variables in each context...but starting with these 4 methods will help you build towards success until you can be more adaptive in your approach. As far as wind, I talk about it at 10:27 in the video and utilize a crosswind as much as possible. I explain my reasoning in the video. I am always chucking milkweed especially in areas with crazy winds and thermals. Looks like you are in IL?
