I do some l/d scouting as well. I live in Southern Ontario and hunt Northern Ontario (about 500 miles away). However, I have two boys 5 & 3 and they have a peaked interest in hunting.

I hunt Northern Ontario because centrefire rifles aren' t allowed in Southern Ontario and I don' t have the $$$ to buy a shotgun or bow.

So, for now, on the way home from soccer and baseball games, we drive a back road on the lookout for deer. The boys are thrilled to see them and it gives me an idea where they might be (not as good as truly scouting, but an idea nonetheless).

As well, most land (if not all) is private farm land and you need permission to hunt. So, if the day comes when I plan to take my boys out in the field, I' ll have an idea where to go and who to ask for permission.

So far all we' ve seen are does. I assume does since I would guess the antlers would be visible by now. We' re still looking forward to seeing our first " Daddy Deer" .
