Stalking
Stalking hunting involves moving discreetly to locate and approach game (roe deer, chamois, mouflon, red deer, or wild boar) before taking a shot. Therefore, equipment must prioritize silence, discretion, observation, and safety.
1. Discreet and silent clothing
- Natural colors / Camouflage: To be adapted according to the environment (forest, mountain, plains).
- Silent fabrics: Essential to avoid any rustling noise while moving.
- Flexible jacket and trousers: Resistant to briars while offering optimal freedom of movement.
- Layering system: Favor breathable and adjustable clothing for long walks and early morning starts.
2. Appropriate footwear and boots
- Waterproof hunting boots or shoes: To keep feet dry in morning dew or on wet ground.
- Flexible and grippy soles: Ideal for placing feet silently while maintaining good traction.
- Ankle support: Essential for safety on steep or uneven terrain.
3. Hunting backpack
A lightweight and discreet backpack (20 to 30 L) is perfect for carrying:
- Water and snacks
- Hunting knife and gloves
- Small first-aid kit
- Headlamp
🎯 The golden rule of stalking
Spot the game before it sees, hears, or smells you.
