Identifying such hotspots helps you decide potential access routes or treestand locations. You must learn to identify features like forests, clear-cuts, creek beds and recent burns, as well as tree types like oaks, pines and aspens to pinpoint potential bedding and feeding areas. Start scouting online to focus on good areas you’ll scout later on foot.Īlthough online scouting sounds easy, you’ll endure a learning curve. These free sites also stay current, making it easier to find potential deer cover without wasting time and energy walking large, unproductive tracts of land.
Software programs like Google Earth and Google Maps provide aerial views and maps you can study from your couch. You can avoid that with modern technology’s many options.

You’ll shoot few animals if you can’t identify their likely feeding and bedding areas. Scouting is one of hunting’s most important keys to success. Cassie Gasaway Featured Gear July 9, 2020
