RE: Your Hunt to Scout ratio?
I scout very little. Most of that due to hunting the same areas for several years now. A new place(only 80 acres) I have hunted 4 times now and all I need is to know what crops will be planted next year.
I may start hunting the nearby public land(1100 acres) again next season. I may scout it 3-4 times this winter and then once in early summer to see what crops are planted there.
