Share tips for slipping through the woods

Wear good neoprene or rubber boots, and walk on the balls of your feet only....

Guy would take boots off and walk barefoot because he felt he made less noise that way.

Da fuq?

I step with my heel down first and slowly roll the front of my foot forward when I walk. That's the quietest way for me.

---

When I was a youngster my friends and I would get big rakes and rake trails out through the leaves in the woods.

we still do this today to our stands in the woods.

take a few steps and stop, repeat...try to make your sounds imitate a turkey

Walk into the wind. Use the wind in your favor. Use your eyes and binoculars to your advantage. You want to walk like a deer or animal, take 2 maybe 3 steps and then stop and glass. Animals rarely just straight walk continuously. You want to hunt places you can see, if you can’t see further than about 75 yards good luck.

If you walk up to a possible bedding area, keep their escape route in mind. So walk up to push them into the open and not into the thicker area in other words.

If you think you’re going slow enough, go half of that.

Isn't that an old Kenny Morgan quote? I feel like I remember reading that in One Man Game.

I know someone who used to hunt with a young Phil Robertson.

Phil used to squirrel hunt barefoot. He would also bury his first limit of squirrels and keep hunting

I can get within 50 yards of deer easily turkey hunting. I can always have turkey's walk under my tree stand deer hunting. So I would recommend doing something other than deer hunting and carry a gun, then you'll probably walk right up to them.

Walk through creeks and I also never go in the morning until civil twilight. I let all of the crows and redbirds drown out my noise. I also rake the trail to my stand.
