What if you want to hunt early season/late season?

I was starting a topic for discussion.
Obviously Dans system is a good one.
But, maybe there are places you have a limited amount of time to scout.
You know bucks are there, have been there, go there, whatever.
You go in and do not find exact bed spots.
Then what?
I mean alot of folks do not have an unlimited amount of time to scout, but want to hunt outside the rut.
What do you look for?

And get this more than ONE certain buck.And dont tell me a 130-145 isnt a nice buck for most on this site.
Zap wrote:Indianahunter, your previous post was awesome.
But it revolves around finding the beds....which is a very good tactic.
It is also a tactic that some may have trouble getting the hang of, and I was trying to stimulate discussion.
For example:
Good area, good potential buck bedding in the high spots in a cattail marsh.
Dont really have time to look em all over, but you see:
a small island in the middle of the high spots, lotsa oaks on the island.
Good late september spot?
Same situation, but no oaks on the island.
There are alot of big scrapes in a row thou...
Good late October spot?
If I look a spot over and do not find exact beds, I want to come away from that with at least one hunt figured out.
Maybe I am wrong?
