RE: Preparing for next year
[*]When do you begin scouting? In late febuary [*]Where are your favorite areas to scout? Fence lines, creeks and woods[*]Do you just observe the deer or do you try hunting scenarios on them? I look for sheds, observe their late season behavior and look for bedding areas.
[*]Do you give the deer any pressure during the off season? I try not to , but TN is so populated with deer it is impossible to NOT stir up some of the animals.
[*]Do you place your cameras up yet to see deer activity or wait until the antlers drop and begin to re-grow? I personal leave them up all year just so I can catch violations from other hunters that may accidentaly venture on to my land.
Great post by the way!!!
