I keep reading about you guys taking game by "stalking"(walking around spotting game and making a stalk). What many of my hunting buddies and I do is scout an area look for evidence of heavy travel and then comeback later and set-up 30 yards off and ambushing the deer as they move through to bed or eat. do you guys do this as well or only stalk? I have stalked and taken a few deer, but found more success with ambush. not saying you guys are doing anything wrong just wondered.

one Deer down and one to go.

I have learned that pulling a deer in a foot of snow is exuasting, but putting a deer on a sled is much easer. Here in the US you can't drive on public land and many farmers don't want you driving in their fields either. in the US people hunt with four kinds of bows, Compound, recurve, longbow, and selfbow (in order of easy to difficult, and shooting range). -

sure I will take a picture of my gear for yea. I did bow hunting for dear but I really like putting meat in the freezer every year so I stick to my muzzloader. I do kill rabbits with my long bow, that can be fun besides the rabbits screaming. :)I mainly us my Tompson center omega 50 cal with leupold riflemen shooting a barnes TMZ bullet 250 grain. I do have a traditional plains rifle, but it is only good out to 50-60 yards with patched round ball, I mostly us it for fun shooting. (did not take a picture of it since I am selling to a guy and it is boxed up. You can us a air rifles here but -
