let me here from the experts about your post season/winter time scouting...what are you looking for? where are looking? why are you looking? what, when and how will you use what you find?
I'm interested to see the responses here. I'm not even remotely close to an expert, but I know what I'm looking for this post season. I'm making it a goal to find where the boy I shot as well as the other three shooters that have been seen since were bedding. I went into this season thinking I had NO good bucks bedding on or near the property. I still may not, but I have a hunch of where these guys were. I'm fairly confident in my rut setups (I know where the doe bedding areas are), but I need to find GOOD early season setups. I want to try and take a buck within the first two weeks next year, but based on sightings this year, it might be tough.
Anyone needing doe meat, would be happy. Can't get on a bucks. My freezer's full and my wall is empty, that's the problem. That and I am running low on baby sitting.
I will be combing the mountains for evidence of who and where they are hiding out. But not so fast, shed hunting is gonna have to wait as much as I love it! I have unfinished business here at home to take care of this Dec! Rifle season officially ended today! I love hunting the late bowseason! Now all I need is cold cold weather come Dec 10!
My main project is to GET more land. I have about maxed out the land I have to hunt now. I'll be shooting 3D more than anything though, I'm excited for that
I have two goals this off season. 1. Gain access to another nearby property. 2. Fine tune my current primary property.
