I wake up early and get in the woods before the other guys.

I make a good effort to meet the other guys and speak with them to be friendly and find out about where they are so we don't bump into eachother - I try to stay non specific when saying where I am though........

I spend more time scouting than the other guys.

I don't over hunt my stands.

I have 3x stands within reasonable walking distance so if someone screws up a spot I have another to go sit in.

I try to do most of my scouting from a distance and by glassing - only actually going in close to hang a stand/trim lanes.

I spend TONS of time looking at aerial photos and topos that I usually get from Microsoft's terra server for free and use that to narrow down the areas that I should be spending time scouting.
