Will the real bowhunter please stand up?

Usually sitting for me. I try to position myself so the deer will be to my right between 6 o'clock and 2 o'clock. If they come in from a diff direction I slide onto my feet and let it fly.

 

Back to the Top...Definitely stay tied off if you are weak in the knees standing at elevated heights, further practice in that setting to strengthen your abilities. Do some squats, build them legs up brother, shoot a lot in both forms but the deer and your ears will tell you where to be at full draw.

Good Hunting'

 

Wait you spot and stalk whitetail? Now that I would like to see.

 

No whitetail in California but yeah I'd try. Why do whitetail spook way easier than blacktail deer? I'm sure it's possible.

Real hard to get on film and not unachievable

 

Depends on the shot, if I can comfortable shoot the direction I need to while sitting that's what I do. If I need to stand because of the shot angle I have no problem standing to shoot.

 

Is it hard? no its not hard, its nearly imposible. The only way you are going to spot and stalk a whitetail is if you have a gun and you see him 100yrds away and decide to walk 10 yards twords him and call that spot and stalkin. So yea, there EXREMELY skiddish.

 

So what I gather hear is that whitetail deer spook very easily. But blacktail deer in Cali will sit down and enjoy a cup of joe with you before the shot. Hahaha. Man I really got it made out here in Cali. Hahaha.

Man I wish I could have some coffee with the deer I was going to kill in about 5 min.LOL yea I think if all whitetail were like that, there wouldn't be any more whitetail. kinda like the dodo bird.

 

Nothing is impossible - some things are just really, really tough with a Bow.
Ex: Sheep, Brown Bear, Cous, Pronghorn, Mule Deer...

but It Does Happen.

 

I said nearly but if you can do it, man you better catch it on tape!!! LOL

 

I have yet to actually shoot a deer with my bow. I missed once and i was standing to take that shot. As for the spot and stalk thing, I have tried it 4 times. I have been busted 4 times about 80 yards out. Seeing as how I limit my shooting range to 30 yards, I enjoyed tag soup following those hunts.

 

If it was easy....We would not be here.

 

I practice shooting from both seated and standing positions. Being able to be comfortable with both has its advantages. I have killed as many from a seated position as standing. I prefer to stay seated if at all possible. You stay closer to the tree and it helps keep your outline broken up. Standing makes it much easier for the deer to pick you out on the skyline and its a lot more movement for other deer that you may not have noticed to pick up on. I would suggest to beginners to get comfortable with both shooting positions.

 

For me the situation dictates the response. I have shot deer both sitting and standing. During the rut I do tend to stand more just so I can react quickly if a deer comes in from an unsuspected direction. Shooting wise it doesnt really matter, I practice both ways and deer will be just as dead whether your sitting or standing.

 

I shot a doe opening week standing, and a buck a few weeks ago seated. I prefer sitting myself. Shot a doe last year seated with a 60" Black Widow recurve!! Still proud of that shot!

 

I have taken deer both sitting and standing, it is situation dependent for me. I have learned that the sitting position gives a lot less movement and I don't get seen by the deer as often. I set all my stands to give me a sitting shot from my main expected avenue of approach for the deer but am ready to stand to take a shot in what ever direction I need to. Deer don't follow rules and I plan on expecting the unexpected.

 

I prefer to stand up every time a squirrel makes a sound, thinking its a deer, then I decide I hate squirrels
