I like to hunt on foot (still hunt).

I recently had a discussion about bow-hunting with someone who claimed that the Eastern Whitetail could't be bagged while 'still hunting', espescially the NJ variety.

He believes that the treestand at least 18 feet up is the best way and the ground blind a distant second. He also mentioned that NJ whitetails are 'spookier' than any other state because of their proximity to people. I call BS.

I'm sure there are several bow-hunters in NJ that have bagged bucks or does while on foot.

So:

1) do you limit yourself to the trees?

2) afraid of heights - stay on foot?

3) do both?

I am mostly in the trees BUT I am going to try stalking this year.

Any pointers Matty and others that do it?

How fast are you actually walking?

Do you walk slowly after making visual contact or overall walk like three steps look around etc.?
