    How do you confirm a scrape is a community scrape?

    Yes. I visited it twice so far. Once in early March before green up and again last weekend when I hung a camera. The pic I posted is from Saturday it still looks like it’s getting pawed at occasionally. Thinking of possibly adding the same type of licking branch to it to give it a better...

    How do you confirm a scrape is a community scrape?

    All good man. I’m not sure if there’s any hard rule to any of this just curious on peoples general experience

    How do you confirm a scrape is a community scrape?

    This is a great point. I’ve heard of more experienced hunters talk about bucks scent checking areas and I haven’t fully connected the dots on that, probably because I’m switching from hunting deer to trying to hunt more mature bucks. I do like that strategy though and I would say unless intel is...

    How do you confirm a scrape is a community scrape?

    Ahh man I was all excited until I got to the end of the story, haha. That’s a shame though I’m sorry. Have you continued to monitor it? I wonder if it will rebound without human presence. On another note would you say you qualify a community scrape based on how often it’s getting hit by...

    How do you confirm a scrape is a community scrape?

    I found a couple scrapes this offseason that stood out more to me than the average scrape. I’ve learned not to pay attention to scrapes that aren’t near bedding or areas without good security cover. One of the scrapes is in a hub area off a creek bottom on a worn trail that has doe bedding on...

    Speed scouting vs scouting thoroughly on new pieces? How to be more efficient?

    Good to know. I’ve blown up topo maps and went in to scout not realizing there was elevation change. You use the premium onx to view this?

    Speed scouting vs scouting thoroughly on new pieces? How to be more efficient?

    Thanks man. I found it pretty tough hunting food sroubd me because it’s everywhere and the deer browse a ton. I do try to look for isolated oaks and vegetation that’s been mowed down near bedding or staging areas though. On another note, how much different intel can you get from LiDAR than other...

    Speed scouting vs scouting thoroughly on new pieces? How to be more efficient?

    How does mountain laurel stand out to you on onx? I’m new to mountain hunting and know it provides good cover but I’m not sure how to identify it from the app.

    Speed scouting vs scouting thoroughly on new pieces? How to be more efficient?

    Not disputing this I’ve just heard spray is more effective but I’m open to carrying. People out in grizzly country seem to prefer spray

    Speed scouting vs scouting thoroughly on new pieces? How to be more efficient?

    Have you ever had them try to take your kill? I’ve heard about bears coming up to you while you’re field dressing which is a little unsettling. If I grind my ass off like you’re saying and shoot a buck I’m not really trying to share with anyone lol. Curious if I should keep a can of bear spray...

    Speed scouting vs scouting thoroughly on new pieces? How to be more efficient?

    Thanks for all the insight! I’ll definitely check those books out I appreciate it. Do you really find them to be all over the place like that? I’m used to hunting smaller wood lots and maybe a little higher deer density. I’m not planning on sitting these spots all the time. As of now most of...

    Speed scouting vs scouting thoroughly on new pieces? How to be more efficient?

    So this is going to be my 4th season coming up. My biggest thing I wanted to work on was getting better with post season scouting over winter into spring. I did this when I first started but wasn’t sure what I was looking at a lot of times and would just set up on any sign without realizing most...

    Speed scouting vs scouting thoroughly on new pieces? How to be more efficient?

    I moved to a new area so the pieces I’m scouting I’m planning on hunting this coming season. Less than 6 months for me. Just out of curiosity can I ask why you wait so long to hunt areas you scout? Do you just want to know more about it before you hunt it?

    Speed scouting vs scouting thoroughly on new pieces? How to be more efficient?

    This is a two part question of asking how to be more efficient while post season scouting as well as whether you prefer to speed scout vs scout more thoroughly? I’m still trying to hone in on my methods so just looking for different opinions. For me it depends on where the sign is located and...

    Favorite Hunting Clothing Brand (where you like the camo pattern)

    I agree that patterns are mostly marketing hype. i do like quality clothing because it’s more comfortable in the elements and reduces the amount of movement I make.

    Anyone use John Eberharts scent control methods?

    Only if you’re higher than 15’. I don’t make the rules. Very good point though.

    Favorite Hunting Clothing Brand (where you like the camo pattern)

    I went out and got a bunch of Asio gear camo the last two years and I’m really happy with it. I like the pattern although I’m not much of a pattern guy. The quality of the clothing is nice though and they have a lifetime guarantee. If you have any questions and email them you’re most likely...
