Default RE: Off season scouting...tips, advice, hints, comment

Post season is a favorite time for me as well.As mentioned it is at this time when all the buck sign is laid out for me to record.I usually head to the woods wearing a small day pack loaded with a small trimming saw a note pad and a 14.4v cordless drill and several 7" lag bolts so that I can ready a good number of new locations.Of course, I'm always on the look out for shed antlers.There's nothing like fnding a "booker" while your setting up stand locations.I have found it usefull to record as much info as I can in my note pad because you'll find it gets difficult to recall alot of what your learning a full 9 months before hunting season.Now, if I can just stick to deer without turning a post season scouting day into a pre season turkey trip????
