Default RE: I need some help scouting

Walk around the outside of the property and look for well used trails that may be coming into or out of the property. After you have found a few try to figure out where they are going. Be it food, bedding area, or just travel routs through the property. Also look for natural "edges" of one type of cover that meets up with another type of cover (like a pine thicket meeting with thick under brush). Deer will travel these edges.

Go to TERRA SERVER and find your property and study the areal photo and topo map. Look for any ridges or bottoms that may run through the property. Look for natural funnels like little fingers of cover running between two fields or where two or three bottoms join together.
