I went out yesterday to do a little post rut scouting in the fresh snow and there are ZERO tracks where there were hundreds just two weeks ago.

The deer are now staying right in the bedding area they have choosen of thickets.

I circled the whole area and it doesn't look like they are leaving that area very much. There are almost no tracks coming or going but I saw the deer in there.

So what is the next step? Wait on the edge? Take the shotgun and try to move through the thick brush?

Thanks
