Who is already scouting existing and new areas? I know I am. Will be out this week scouting and knocking on a few doors for new property to hunt. Picking up a few new trail cameras and will be shed hunting in a few weeks.

Just 8 more months till the magic begins!

Will start scouting some remote public areas near my house this week, see what kind of sign I find. Will be enjoyable hiking and looking for new spots. How did you make out this past season? Any close encounters? See any shooters?

I was out yesterday. Post season is great time to scout new areas and get a a better understanding of the areas you already hunt.

That's a real nice buck in that video. [up]

The only scouting I'm worried about right now is for predators and turkey.

I don't really start scouting til mid summer. Food sources change so much and I know where they eat this time of year... In the rich folks back yards where they feed them!

Its that time of year when you should realize there is more to life than deer hunting....[drinking]

Absolutely. Time to look for sheds, time to start hinge cutting in the bedding areas, frost seeding clover. Food plot season is right around the corner

Me too. I have Illinois in the fall, Iowa in December and hopefully Kansas early muzzleloader in 2017.

Take your heat gear and lots of water...

Time to get out a few more times before blackfish season closes. Gonna start cleaning reels changing line and stocking up on bucktails and other tackle I will need.

No sadly, didn't see a buck to shoot although now have a shed buck I am after lol. Did learn a lot, and also learned I have a lot to learn! Haha

This coming season I have a few new treestand sites and should be in a great position to knock a good one down.
