Hunting Techniques: Still Hunting
Still hunting is a technique in which you move slowly and deliberately through prime game territory, stopping often to watch and listen.
The hope is that game will come into your hunting area while you are standing motionless and you will get a shot before the animal even knows you are there. Sometimes, game will come into your area, but not close enough to shoot. In these situations, you may need to combine still hunting with another hunting technique called stalking.
You are more likely to see game if —
"you are still and the game is moving"
than if — "you are moving and the game is still."
