Spot and stalk is indeed thrilling, and wonderful when you pull it off. Some states (PA and others?) require the wearing of hunter orange if you are moving, and perhaps even make the act of stalking illegal as well. The vast majority of accidental shootings occur when moving in on "turkeys" that turn out to be hunters. Know your regs and keep your wits about you!!

It's definitely a private land only activity for me. I knew the other guy who had permission was working so I knew I was safe.
