My Grandmas neighbor would park an old junk truck up near the Oaks on the back of his property. We would walk up before sunup and quitely crawl through the open windows. The windshield was missing, so we carried a roll of canvas to put on the dash to rest our rifles on. We shot many deer from that old truck.
While out west my hunting partner and I would drive back country roads. We would see Mule Deer along the road, or out in meadows. We learned to slow down but not stop. The passenger would bail out, or step off the running board, and roll into the ditch. After the vehicle went on down the road the Deer would watch the vehicle. The person on the ground would carefully crawl across the road on his belly. Once across the road he would be position to take a shot. Sometimes he just sat where he was and the animal would cross the road. Once on the same side he could take a shot. We worked this trick for Mule Deer, Antelope, Turkey, and Elk. He and I have worked this trick for Caribou, Moose, and Bears here in Alaska too.
While on Horse back I have ridden up on Deer, Turkey, and Elk down in New Mexico. Here in Alaska I have ridden up on Moose and Caribou. While sitting on the horse glassing the far mountain I would slip the bits and let the horse graze. Dall Sheep would come out and seeing the horse grazing, and hearing it biting off the grass, they seemed to be satisfied there was no danger there and a whole flock of them would come out grazing all around us.
My Dad shot many Whitetail from the dinning room window at my Grandma's house while we were eating breakfast. The Deer would be out there amongst the cattle eating. I shot a few from the hay loft of the old barn. It was 100 yards from the hayloft to the far side of the stock pond where deer and turkey come for water.
