RE: pre season scouting
I've hunted the same area now for about two seasons, and altho I do go and scout, I know where I am going to go and pretty much which trees to hunt from. the patterns of the deer don't change too drastically. altho I do like to scout, I pretty much know where I am going. the only real reason to go into my area is for a tack trail and just general curiousity...
