I have a late season archery tag (going on right now) and I’m struggling to get within 80 yards now that there’s snow on the ground. I highly doubt the snow will be gone before the season is over so I’m looking for help/critique on my technique. I’m hunting solo in NV and it’s pretty open country, lots of sage brush everywhere with some rock piles scattered about. Think chukar hunting with a small basin on top of the mountain and that’s where the deer are.
I can get within 80-100 yards pretty easy but the snow is slushy & crunchy and makes a lot of noise when moving around. My technique right now is to get as close as possible and hope that they feed towards me. Every time I try to move in on them they hear me and stare me down til they decide to leave. I’m honestly praying for high winds to cover up the sound!
Is there a better technique or something I should be doing differently?
