EatWild 83 - How to Still Hunt - Tips from a lifetime of timber hunting with Geoff Horsfield

Trying to be invisible. Quietly sneaking through the woods, waiting, listening, and observing. Meticulously searching the forest with your eyes for a flicker of movement or a fraction of a silhouette. This is the essence of still hunting. 

In this episode, I am joined by my hunting mentor, Geoff Horsfield. Geoff taught me how to hunt. Geoff is a master still hunter, and I can still remember our first hunt together 35 years ago where he showed me how to sneak up on a whitetail. 

 

Geoff and I are warming up by the wood heater in the wall tent after successful day of Whitetail hunting.  Geoff share his thoughts and processes for how he still hunts. 

 

There’s lots of generous tips from a great hunter in this episode. Enjoy.
