hunting a new peace of property? What i do is walk the the land and no whats out there like boundries "creek`s" maby where the "pines" are and the thick stuff! also of course the hardwoods! look for old rubs! or rub lines maby trails. Deers patern will change through the yr. What there doing know or eating know may or may not be what they will be doing in a few months so keep that in mind? Also with out a doubt food source is going to be one of the most importent things to keep an eye out for while scouting. Droping`s will be something to keep an eye out for if you find a good bit of dropings in one area thats a good endication that your in or close to a food source and that area is being used. I don`t mean to blow you away with this stuff but there is really a lot more to it than this. When hunting new land a lot of it will come just being out there your self looking around thats part of the fun! Things like bedding areas and wind direction and stand placement are all key factors and will be things you will half to to find or findout while scouting and looking around and alot of it will come durring hunting season while sitting in your stand like where to hunt and where not to hunt?[&:].......................If i only had one day to scout i would look for the food source!
