Still hunting for whitetails?

[avadad]

Hi folks. I know most whitetails are taken from stands/blinds but I'm curious if any members have had much luck still hunting for them? I'm not very patient so the idea of having to sit in a blind all day does not appeal to me. My preference is to climb up the side of a mountain looking for game and I'm hoping to do the same for whitetails later this season. Anyone?

I’ve taken a few on foot but they are pretty
spookey. Stand hunting works best for me in an area that you know hold animals. Tinks 69 makes them curious

Me and my buddies have shot lots of whiteys , bucks and does. None of us has ever used a blind or a tree stand. You've gotta be quick on the draw when you get on them but its very doable. Good luck!

NOPE... I would say the majority are taken without using a blind or tree stand..

I have shot a tonne of whitetails..but yes still hunting is great for them.think thick brush low elevation.

Majority of WT's are taken from the mobile gasoline powered blind with built in heater and glass windows I would suspect, at least in my area of operations.

Have shot dozens of whitetail bucks , all while walking . WT 's are notoriously predictable , in some ways easier than Mulies if they bust you before you see them.

I think for best results you set your boots to SNAIL PACE

Depends if you're talking rifle or bow.

For the rifle, Rocksteady and Linksman are spot on, most whitetails are taken from vehicles. Saves on camo clothing.

I have still hunted whiteys most of my life and had some great success. But the last number of years as a bowhunter, the killing machine has been a treestand. Most relaxing, peaceful and safe.

We had a nice spot and stalk this past week on a 3x3 in region 5.
