[QUOTE="isaaccarlson, post: 2345590, member: 33850"] He was right. My dad taught me the same thing. Nothing fancy, just a rifle/bow and not-so-common-anymore sense. Didn't have to be super quiet, just no silhouette and no loud noise or unnatural smells. He would smoke a cigarette and we would talk in low voices while sitting against logs. Maybe a small fire to keep warm. We always got deer. Seemed like most of them were curious about us, or just didn't think we were any danger. Don't break sticks. Rustling leaves will bring them in. I will stir the leaves with a stick or my foot. I walk through the leaves with a deer-like step pattern....heel-toe, heel-toe, with each movement crisp and individual. It makes the telltale crunch-crunch, crunch-crunch sound of deer and that will get them interested too. I'll even pee on a tree near my stand. If you have a wife/girlfriend, have her pee in a bottle and use that, bucks love it, especially when she is ovulating. Better than doe pee sometimes. The big thing is don't act like a hunter/predator. Just act casual and try not to be too quiet. Being too quiet will spook them faster than anything else. I have had them stand 10-30 yards away while I cut wood and work outside, digging holes, using a miter saw, hammering, etc... They are curious creatures. Change up the area a bit. They like to investigate new things. [/QUOTE]
