RE: What to look for when scouting
If itsnot private land, and not "posted", you will have every four wheelin buddy and picnicer from miles away enjoying your hunting spot. If you have been given permission to hunt it, ask for permission to post it. I can only give it a short time before your cam comes up missing, especially if you decide to hang a stand at or near where someone else may wonder.
Just a thought for you...its happened to me 2 times on my own posted, leased land.
