Season over.. Now what?

Unread postby Mschmeiske » Thu Dec 22, 2016 12:16 pm

First I would like to say thank you to all of you that ever answered my questions and thanks to those of you who continue to share your knowledge on this site! I didn't get a beast but I seen more deer than ever, especially bucks :) what do you guys suggest now? Scouting and more scouting?

You bet!!! As soon as one season ends, the next one starts. You said you seen the deer this year, now get out there and figure out what they were doing and how you can kill them next fall. Scout, scout, and scout.

Also, do you have snow right now where you hunt?

Great opportunity to find late season beds! Also to find out which bucks made it through the season before they shed their antlers.

Scouting with snow makes finding the beds themselves tougher, but it makes for a head start for spring scouting which is pretty huge IMO.

Cyber scouting new public, getting my new stand stealthed up, practicing with the stand and lots of fishing. Once spring comes hopefully some scouting. And more fishing. And lots of shooting with the bow

I actually found a new bed the other day while hunting :) I hope to find more and explore new areas! And your right about that Tbunao! I've heard some deer are already dropping antlers and I've wanted to do some shed hunting. I'll have to do some research on that.

Scout as much as you can and beef up any weaknesses you may have found in equipment or hunting throughout the year.

The season is never over. I'm always hunting, scouting, food plotting, etc.... I'm always getting ready for the next hunt.
