We are told in detail how to spot deer and track them through the wilderness. The methods deer use to blend into, and hide among, foliage and scenery are detailed, as are their typical movements through the rugged terrain they typically populate. Van Dyke tells of how to effectively pursue deer, and how stealth is crucial particularly as the hunter prepares to take a shot.

Excerpt from The Still-Hunter That mystic tie, which binds in the one circle of enchantment all the varied scenes in which the rifle, rod, or gun play a part, must take the subject of this work of some interest to every lover of the field, whether he uses the rifle or not, and whether he ever expects to hunt large game or not. I have therefore endeavored to treat in in such a manner as to be at least readable to all such, as well as interesting to those who desire the information it contains. The part of rifles and rifle-shooting and on game may be interesting to all who love the sporting rifle. And, judging from the comments and letters in the leading papers upon field-sports at the time when I first wrote upon the use of the rifle in the field, even the experienced hunter may find a hint or two that may one day serve him.
