I agree with JimPok61. I scout in and out of season. I check tracks, scrapes, rubs, trails and potential bedding areas.
I will hunt on ground or stands. My next spot is a vehicle entry at the corner of a field. The buck walks around that corner nearly every morning. There are some downed trees there with heavy limbs for cover and plenty of room for manouvering. Over a 3 day period I am sure I will get him.
Stands. I will place around where heavy trails meet. Nothing thinly traveled.
