Default RE: Off Season Scouting

ORIGINAL: Germ

Is there a seldom use trail near this setup?That cross one or both of these trails?
This is a pic of the trail I am gonna set up about 15 yards off of..........the pic you posted is in the area I want to hunt........but I will be setting up in the middle of the junk where it is thickest. You can see the fence row in the pic you chose and that is the property edge.........the trail coming out of the brush is the one I am focusing on because it leads from thick pines to more open hard woods and the golden rod field..........offers cover as they sneak out of bed and also a couple different escape routes.


BTW there appear to be a few deer using these trails
You can't tell in the pic but the fence line has more human tracks then deer (mine included).........the trail out of the brush is well used by deer though........I only got permission here this year and that was once the season already started........we were flying blind and still saw a couple nice deer and managed to kill one. I like this farm but the walk in with a climber got old kinda quickly. This year is hang ons only.

Any advice for entry and exits??

This pic looks more heavily traveled then it really is too........the snow was a light dust the night before..........with all the wet weather we have had the trails just melted instead of sticking. Obviously those trails were not made overnight.
