Well, it's been a while since I've made a post so here it goes. I've been out chasing scouting two mature bucks for several weeks. Finally found ones main bed after 3 weeks of searching. One aspect and/or rule I use is finding hunting hotspots is where I dont find any human activity. No access parking lots, no human foot prints in the snow, and no tree stands. This particular buck has a 2mile home range...so finding his core security cover was a challenge. Many of the bucks I've harvested thru the years have one similarity...they've never been hunted or recieved alot of direct hunting pressure where they feel the most secure. Older bucks learn to travel at night since they have never encountered human activity or mainly your human scent under darkness. Enough of that, but now I have the rest of the post season to prepare exit and entry strategies. I really feel post season scouting is where you get to increase your odds for the upcoming bow season. Get out there and do some leg work guys
