Tips On Being Stealthy.

With your feet: use a pair of cloth shoe covers designed to keep your steps quiet. For sitting in a tree stand and moving to and from a tree stand--use rubber boots sprayed with Wildlife Research Center's Scent Killer Spray. Be sure and spray the bottoms of the boots too.

For your legs: Use knee-high wool socks to keep the noise down when walking through the brush.

Outer clothing: Should use a material such as camo fleece or a wool-type material. This will eliminate 99% of the noise encountered from brushing up against brush and tree limbs.

Tactics in general:

Always keep the wind in your favor, and if at all possible, spray your clothing and equipment with Scent Killer spray. It will keep human odors down.

Your bow should be covered with a camo cloth tape to keep any kind of reflection from the sun off it.

Use any kind of sound-dampening equipment on your bow so that when you make the shot, the animal will not hear it coming.

Use a scentless face camo to help keep the shine of your face concealed.

While stalking your prey, do not be in a hurry. Wait for him to make the mistakes, then you capitalize on them. A lot of times, you can get too anxious to get the shot and actually "blow" an opportunity very easily.

Use the landscape to your benefit and never silhouette yourself.

Use a powder-device to be able to constantly check the wind direction. And always remember that one set of eyes is a lot easier to stalk up on than several sets.

You will find many more ideas on being stealthy in Wildlife Research Center's booklet, "Scent Free Secrets".
