Scouting for deer is a tricky business. Scouting is the same as hunting only without the bow. Its, without a doubt, to early to really scout the bucks but you could begin to scout the does.. I suppose.

I don't begin to scout until well into late June and early July. It's during this period that bucks begin to actually start patterns here in northen Illinois. And when antlers are really beginning to show their majesty. Even when scouting, always remember to watch the wind!

April and May are great times to begin to shoot again, if you haven't already. Replace old strings, rests etc.

Hope this helps!
