Default RE: Scouting tricks and tips.

Most people say if you find deer scat (poop), chances are that deer beds down within 100 yards from where you found the scat... I didn't know if it was true, but I started looking for scat and found some from these doe we'd see in the evenings... Was walking through the woods out there one day, about 30 or so yards from where I had seen all of the scat and I ended up jumping the does, they were bedded down there... but as most of the scouting I do, it was before the season...

Covering your scent is very important as the previous reply stated... What I do is purchase and new spray bottle and collect leaves, sticks, grasses and whatever else vegi-like from the place I plan on hunting and boil it in water for alittle bitand bottle it up...Those are the things thatthey're used to smelling, so don't cook it, just get it out of the subject...
