look up stalking. I can't help you finding deer or how to stalk on a online forum...but as far as the tactics...i saw someone post something about a spotter and a patience...and that is correct.
The technique common in western hunting high country is spot and stalk. Even though i can pop the pimple off a nats *** @ 1300 yards, i still prefer bow hunting to rifles, it can have quite the rush. more important, it takes more discipline in my opinion and its a little hard to do if you're not good spotting deer, which is half the battle. Look at maps, look for northern slopes and check them out from afar with good glass. Be patient and look for bedding buck.
Next part of the battle is the 40%, getting within range without spooking the deer. That involves being mindful of wind, using micro terrain to conceal movement, staying out of the skyline, not moving to slow, more important not moving to fast, and being very quite in your movement. the 10% is making your shot. Dont assume with a bow, range everything. There are some examples on web of stalking, and some ideas...best way is to use some of those ideas and try it...and when you mess up, figure out why and try again. I've low crawled, walked around several hills to get a top side shot, ive taken off shoes, and even have walked straight up within range...it could depend, and personally in some situations some luck is involved, though i would rely on it. Some guys pass on stalks if they dont want to risk disturbing the deer. Once muleys blow, they rarely come back to the same place. If you are hunting with another person, sometimes you can do a drive as a back up technique in the event you mess up the stock. Again, it can get really situational. Just focus on spotting and stalking first, id say!
