| |  Deer Scouting
Spring Green up is well under way here. How has everyone fared with spring scouting for next season? Or does anyone do any winter / spring scouting?

I go all the time. I think that it's easier to find trails in the spring mud than the snow.

Man in all the time that I spend in the woods I've only found 1 spiker shed that I almost sat on when turkey hunting one time. Almost a serious ouchy.

I am planning on getting out real soon. I just bought two Stealth Cam digital cameras on clearance at Dicks, ($100.00 ea regular $259.00ea) I have tried them out hear at the house and man do they work nice. I need to get down to my lease and get them set up ASAP.
I have never done much early season scounting. What are some of the things you all are looking for?  |

here I'm looking to see what made it through the winter, sheds. Trails and areas that were used last fall. Anything that may have been over looked last year. rub lines that were missed. try to narrow down bedding areas. secondary trails that pharrell the main trails down wind. Basically cover everything that would mess up my hunt if I did it in the fall. do it now and the deer should fall into a somewhat similar pattern. take notes on a topo and then when the season rolls around you can just slip in and not muck up the deer.
