RE: Placing tree stands in summer.
The only " scouting" we can do right now is seeing deer in the crop fields. The woods are just gettin too much foilage to really see much.
Unless something has really changed in your area the deer will not really change their patterns, habits or routines much (that is til firearms season!)
We have more than enough stands out already on the property that adding or even moving one really won' t make or break a thing. But we do venture out into the woods on the property. And we have been peeking around a bit on some newly aqquired land that the state has purchased that ajoins a really piece of land that the state has owned for some years.
BIGGEST THING(S) to be aware of this time of year..........TICKS, CHIGGERS & ALL THE NASTY INSECTS THAT WANT YOUR BLOOD!
