Better to sit or stand when on watch in the deer woods? Staying still is key

Since the eyes of a deer can take in a good bit of woodland landscape with their extra-long pupil, any movement, however slight, such as a hunter turning his head to one side, or swatting at a mosquito, or shifting position, can be quickly noticed by a whitetails’ vision.
Experienced hunters know this, and therefore, will look for a watch location that takes advantage of a landscape’s cover, dark shadows or other forms of obscuring features. Such as positioning themselves in the shadow of a large oak, or under the boughs of a big cedar tree, or among a blowdown, or against a boulder, so as not to be seen or noticed by passing deer.
