The Author Left out the Inevitable for some Novice or even experienced hunters
"Buck Fever", My hunting partner had a bad case of what you could call " buck fever" last moose hunting season. I called in a Small Bull moose and HE was to shoot it long before it came within 60 yards of me, for personal safety.Since it was achery season, I wanted at least fifty but we opted for the extra 10yards(somtimes those yards make your escape). While i called in the bull and he came grunting everystep(like a pig), When he hit 45yards I knew there was a Problem. I glaced over to see my partner Hadn't even drawn His bow, He was too busy shaking and staring mezmerized by this mediochre bull. I stopped calling but the bull kept coming and this worried me since it was the rut and even though he wasn't a giant, he could have easily stomped me. Then The bull turned and ran Luckily enough With an arrow sticking from his ribs, Not exactly a clean, perfect shot BUt 150yards later we recovered him.
After we loaded the bull, and were driving the hour back to town he apologized and continued to say that has never happened before.

HE has hunted for 6years Archery and that was his first moose but he has taken Nice deer, Just goes to show that this can happen to anyone.

Very good article, I've read about still hunting a few times and even tried it every once in awhile, definitely something I would like to try again on a more serious note....takes lots of good patience, an easy step and a good eye! Thumbs up

All I need is a bunch of spruce bows to make a cushion and a tree for a backrest and I can sit all day as long as I'm warm enough. More laziness than anything else and a midday nap is almost a given Thumbs up

Very good article. Wish some of the other so called still hunters would read this. Had one "still" hunter chase a 6pt away from my stand. Brick Wall

Tried still hunting a few times but no luck.
