Maybe it's time to put away those trail cameras and hunt the old fashion way. A big part of my hunting experience is the time spent scouting, both before and during the deer season.

So, some 16 yr old hunter arrowed that buck and he never knew that buck was there and never used a trail cam. That should tell you a lot!

My advice is to appreciate what deer hunting is all about and to us, scouting is paramount. Get out and find out as much as you can about the deer in your area. Try to determine their food source, where they bed during the day, what trail are being used by most deer. Understand that hunting a big old buck is hunting a different animal. Do your homework and stop relying on the deer you see when you're not there.
