rules i try to live by....never take more than 20 steps even on a road without doing a full stop look and listen....it is as low at 2 or 3 steps when things feel "right"...always have your gun at the ready.....if you are out of breath or sweating you are going too fast...if i accidentally make a loud crunch i sometimes will let out a call like a bull moose grunt or an elk call ....i cant prove if it helps or not but it is what i might do
