You’re right! Anytime in the woods is enjoyable. Another time to look for deer sheds is while hunting spring mushrooms–Morels of May.

its also good to get out and see what wolves are doing to our deer and mainly elk populations. theres nothing like draws of blood stained snow and half eaten remains to keep you after the b@sterd$

I agree. I get out in the field year round. KNowing what deer, elk, antelope, or any game does in the off season is a big advantage. It gives us chance to know where those elusive hiding places, and escapes are when the pressure is on during the season. Great advice.

Good advice. And I definitely agree with Buckhunter and Deer Hunting Directory, any time in the field/woods is time best spent because it is in our blood.

Good luck guys in 2010!

It’s a good idea to use a scouting camera for the field were you’ll hunt, gives you a better idea of what comes and goes during the times of the day. Just saw some pics using the Trail Cam by Wildview and they came out really good. My neighbor uses one at his cabin.

After the rut is over and the bucks get back to their normal routine, I like to setup a tree stand on the creek bottoms. The areas I look for are ones where the deer are crossing, or where a lot of oaks are at.

Last year, while I was setting up my climbing stand next to a creek to do an evening hunt. This doe walked within about 20 feet of my location. I heard something, looked up and there she was. I was making enough noise putting that tree stand together she should have heard me 100 feet away. Anyway, we made eye contact for just a second, and she bolted away.

So this year, I’am gonna set the stand up a few days before I hunt that spot. And ease in there one morning.

I agree. Many successful hunts are the result of doing your homework and scouting out the area, trails, beds and rubs.

The sheds, the scouting, the solitude, the adventure. Do we do this only to find the big bucks or because it is truly a part of our personal fabric? Great post, you really got me thinking.

I totally agree. Get out this time of year gives me a huge advantage in the fall. Not many people take advatage of this. But it gives you a pretty good idea of what is out there after the winter.
