Use this thread to post anything about your scouting trips to your hunting spots. Maybe you spotted a good one driving around your area or found the perfect tree for a stand. Anything and everything that relates to scouting your hunting areas.

how do you guys go about finding lease opportunities? I like using HLN. Also my dad delivers on a rural route so he sometimes gets leads from his customers

Bumped a couple bucks and found beds where I suspected them to be. The place had a very strong wet buck smell since it rained last night. I literally could smell the beds when I was 30' away. Hung 1 stand

Want to give the cameras a good month or so to soak before swapping cards. Going to scout out a few more spots then too. That's going to be a painful wait! It already is. I wanted to go back out 3 days later and check them lol. Some of the cams are placed deeper than I would normally like to set them access wise and want to keep my intrusion to a minimum. Should be some bangin spots for cams though. I leased this this place and the place last year off of basecamp. We've had "word of mouth" type leases in Illinois and Ohio in the past but it was more of a "take what we could get" thing and weren't really great spots. For the little extra I paid BC, its still less than I would have in gas and time knocking on doors to find a lease that might not happen anyway.

Well the lease wasn't really what I was hoping for. It was a pretty vast grass area but didn't have much for trees and good stand sites. We did jump a doe bedded in a old shed. It's definitely an area id hunt but probably not for $2800. I'm going to keep looking but will keep this one in mind.

Went out to my main spot this evening for a drive around, first time I've been out there since pulling cams & shed hunting this spring. All I can say is I'm in full deer mode now, scrambling to battery up cameras & find some corn. 8 bucks popped out from where my blind is, the big 8 I've been after the last two years leading the pack. Man, did he look awesome standing in a plowed field just giving us a show! Two other bucks that were regulars last year look to have made a big leap an might be shooters as well. Instantly I'm already nervous, excited & jittery already. How will I screw it up this year π Hopefully get a cam in there this week, dusting off the spotting scope & thinking of gettin one of those phone adapters to try & snap some scouting pictures. Anybody had any luck with those? I had a sinking feeling this buck had died somewhere as I couldn't find his sheds or him this spring, but he is back & bigger than everπ»ππ» 2015 2016 2017 better pics to come..
