Should I start scouting now?
Filed under: Hunting Tactics
Question
I want to do some scouting. Should I start scouting for next year if I already tagged out? I want to find new spots because at my other spots I don’t see many deer. Plus how can I hunt without a stand for a permanent spot? If I should scout, how do I start? Just, what can I do to start? It also should be fairly easy because I’m only 14.
Aaron,
Congratulations on tagging out already this year!
I scout year round. My scouting includes using trail cameras, studying what portions of the land I hunt deer are using during different conditions, and studying maps like Google Earth! I’m amazed at what can be learned about properties by studying them in detail using the different Google Earth features.
I also practice with my bow and gun year round.
Enjoy creation,
