The hunting strategy of waiting for game while sitting or standing in one spot is called?

• A. Posting
• B. Stalking
• C. Ambush
• D. Still-hunting

Answer: (A)

When you wait in one place for game to come by, you’re posting. This means staying seated or standing in a fixed spot—often in a stand, blind, or along a favored travel line—while you observe the area for animals and wait for a shot. The key idea is staying still and waiting rather than moving toward the game.

Staying still and waiting is what sets posting apart from other methods. Stalking or still-hunting involve moving—either slowly approaching game or following signs to get within range. Ambush can be a waiting approach as well, but the explicit act described here is the hunter remaining in one spot, which is posting.
