RE: Any of yall just wing it?
I hunt 100% public land so "winging it" is the only real option. I can go out and scout all pre season and find out what the deer are doing but once the masses arrive opening day it all goes out the window. I do as much virtual scouting as possible, I learn the land, look for the funnels and bedding areas on topos and aerials. Once the season starts I will have a general idea of where the deer are going to be from years of experience but I have to adjust and move every day based on the pressure and what the deer are doing.
