still hunting
Stealthy prey approach
Still hunting is a method of hunting where the hunter moves slowly and quietly through terrain, stopping frequently to watch and listen for game, rather than waiting in a fixed position.
Despite the name, the hunter isn't stationary but advances stealthily: Still hunting for deer requires patience and sharp senses.
The technique contrasts with stand hunting or using blinds.
