What Is Still Hunting?
Still hunting, also known as stalking, is a method of hunting where we as hunters try to quietly and carefully approach game to get within shooting range. This type of hunting requires a great deal of patience, endurance, and technical skill. The best times of day for still hunting are early morning and late evening.
To succeed in still hunting, it’s important to have the right gear and clothing. Moving slowly and carefully is key to avoid spooking the game. We also need to pay attention to wind direction to prevent the animals from picking up our scent.
Still hunting is a challenging form of hunting that demands strong technical ability and a good understanding of animal behavior. But it’s also an exciting and rewarding way to hunt.
How Should I Dress for Still Hunting?
When still hunting, your clothing should be quiet and blend into the environment, so you remain unnoticed by the game you're pursuing. It’s also important to wear comfortable boots, as you may end up covering long distances and need to move silently. Clothing that is water- and windproof is ideal — as long as it’s also breathable. Well-ventilated garments are a good choice.
