I say yes, but one has to put a lot of scouting in AND not pressure the area!!!
How many times a year ......do you believe a scouting camera has
saved many a mature whitetail?
I feel like my best chance on my new properties will be in the first two weeks of the season. The fields have beans......the area hasn't been pressured (to my knowledge...or at least legally). I just have to wait to see what's there. Beauty is.....I can scout it from a wooded hillside about 1/3 mi away. I gained access to some land I knew I couldn't hunt.....JUST to be able to glass them from there.
We'll see.
