Knowing what they do in July is good, but knowing what they are doing in October and November is much better, lol.
Very true. Always pay attention during hunting season and save the info and adjust accordingly but I do my most intensive scouting starting in Feb/Mar/Apr (Jan 31 ends bow season here). That is when I am very intrusive and pounding their locations. I don't really do much, if any,scouting during the summer.
Which is what I should do.[&:]

I guess in a way I am scouting during those times. I am predator and then turkey hunting every week from Jan through May...that adds up to alot of time in the woods.

I should try that map system you did...that looks pretty slick, and would really open eyes to the bigger picture. I have access to neighboring properties for predator/turkey hunting that I dont for deer, extending the mapping into these areas would REALLY help see the whole picture.
