Well since we really havent been talkin about hunting on here for quite some time i thought id see if anyone else has started doing any scouting? bucks around here are starting to show potential iv already set up a couple stands, a couple of them being double sets for video purposes.....anyone else been out?

Ive had my cameras out over mineral licks and got some good pics. Ive been doing a lot of fishing lately and have seen some bachelor groups out in the fields while doing so. Im going to start getting into it hard come late July/August.

Heres a few pics:

I haven't yet. Still don't know where I'm gonna hunt this year.

x2, i have to hunt public land this year as the person i hunted private with last year is taking his son with him since he'll be back from Iraq. [:@] I'm not angry that he's taking him, it's just that i learned very quickly where the deer were on the 56 acres we hunted on and i got to know it quite well in a week. Oh well thats why they call it hunting and not shooting

Ive had a camera out for a while. And I have 2 standsup.

Well tomarrow im puttin my new trail cam out and cutting some blowdowns out of a old skitter trail/ major runway to get the fourwheeler back there when i shoot one if i do... Cuz i aint dragging it in the junk im around, its all cedar swamp and thick brush...

I wouldn't want to drag one through that either

Meh...too hot down here to stomping through the woods scouting. Plus, I don't know where I'm going to be hunting next year either. The lease I was on folded, and since it's so hard to get on a lease down here, I doubt I will find one in time for season. I'm taking my bowhunter's safety course next weekend so I will be able to hunt federal reserves, though. Those areas have lots of deer and aren't pressured at all.

I hunted public land too. For the 1st time ever in my deer camp, no one shot a deer at all. That area has wolves in it, so they took a good piece of the population out. The night before the opener, me and my dad went to a bar. They have a deer feeder in back, with a window looking out. A small buck came out, and you could tell of nervous he was. Sometimes the deer know when hunting season is.

I'm not looking forward to hunting private land around here, it kinda sucks :-( If i can get the whole week or part of gun week off i might try to afford a motel and hunt down south in Wayne National Forest.
