All the talk of "sign" hunting...
Which would you rather hunt over? (sign-wise)
1. Big Tracks 2. Rubs 3. Scrapes 4. Bedding 5. Scat in/around feeding area Please choose as many as you care to in order of importance to "you". Thanks, LT |

I hunt the "edge" of thickets/bedding area's. They have to go in and have to come out. All you need to do, is know where and when.;)

Don't have a favorite.
Location of sign.. time of year... LOCATION of sign. I usually don't hunt over sign... but use it intimately to get the answers I need. But I will hunt near the sign if the location and timing of year dictate me so. Wind direction included. |

Sign tells me where the deer was at night. If you want to shoot a mature buck, hunt where they are during daylight(Don Higgins) They are not by any of the signs you listed, but one;) |

It's hard for me to put them in any order. They all play a part in my decision on how to hunt an area. Each situation is different.

My favorite place to hunt is a funnel. If I can find a funnel in my area the stuff on your list will show up on its own. I used to spend all my time stomping all over the woods looking for rubs, scrapes and everything that we were "supposed" to be hunting over. Like I said though, ever since I started hunting funnels all of these things seem to come to me ;)

I don't Hunt sign. It's nice to see a Big Rub or Scrape, but it has little bearing on where I locate my stands.
Wind, Terrain breaks, terrain, and cover in general. There are many time I can circle a property on the road and pick a stand location within yards. I have done it before and scored first time in.;) Dan |
