Move slowly and look more.
Especially if you are in an area with heavy sign
Novices often think 'hunting' means going to look for deer. Sometimes the best way is to wait for them to come to you, as you get to pick the ambush point.
Anyone who has called deer in should know this. I once made the mistake of calling in a Sika but then looked down quickly ( other stalker texted to say he heard my call), by the time I looked up, a big boy stag was looking at me on the edge of the treeline.
The minute I moved the rifle, he bolted.
Never again!!!
