I hunt 170 miles from my home. I can't do any pre season scouting. I have to dive in and react on the fly. I do some in season scouting and go back to areas where I know a big buck was last year. I don't use trail cams because it's all public land and I fear that my camera would become someone elses camera. I long for the day when I hunt near my home and I can scout, pattern, and score on a specific buck.
