spot-and-stalk
Locate then approach
Spot-and-stalk is a hunting method where the hunter first locates game from a distance—often using binoculars or a spotting scope—then approaches on foot within shooting range.
The technique requires patience, stealth, and knowledge of terrain: Spot-and-stalk is the purest form of bowhunting.
It contrasts with stand hunting, where hunters wait in a fixed position for game to approach.
