I seldom hunt Deer. When I do my preferred method is stand hunting. But oddly enough I have taken more when still hunting. IE; slow stalk.
The biggest Deer I ever harvested was taken when not even hunting. In fact I was on my way to visit a neighbor and spotted it and two other nice bucks in my brothers field. So I returned to my brothers place where I was staying, borrowed a rifle and had him drive me back to a woodlot on the edge of the field from which I could set up a stalk.
That buck scored 179 and a bit, dry. I later gave it to my friends FIL.
I wasn't really that interested in trophy's then or now.
Antlers don't fill the pot as they say.
