Just wondering what everyone’s favorite time of year and conditions to do their scouting?
Here is mine, I prefer to scout at the end of season, mainly because I don’t want to pressure the bucks that I am targeting during the time of year that I could possibly hunt them. I also love to scout after a fresh snow, for me it’s easier to read the sign and travel directions with fresh snow, every track you find tells you that deer was close by within a specific timeframe. This time of year it seems like the bucks group back up and head to their home areas which allows me to find buck bedding much easier! Just the way I like to do it, how about you fellows? We just got about 5 inches of fresh snow and I’m planning on hiking several miles in the morning on a big piece of public land to see what I can find in preparation for this fall hunting season! God Bless
