Deer Hunting on the Move: Stillhunting for Deer, or Get off the Stump By : Paul Smith Deer hunting on the move, or stillhunting, is commonly misunderstood as to what it is and how to go about it. It is stalking deer, not waiting on a stump or in a blind for the deer to come to you. It can be the most rewarding deer hunting experience you can do. It can also be the most frustrating, since it is a skill which requires you to slow everything down - your sight, your breath and your walking gait. But the payoffs go beyond the hunt to your better enjoyment of nature itself.
