I do plan to use scent to get them started. I'll probably just leave some of my own urine.
I plan to start these in June in areas where I hope an older buck lives. I have a half dozen trail cams so I will put 6 out, let em soak for 1 or 2 weeks, and then move all of them to new areas, then repeat that process over and over until fall. Ideally, by that time I will have covered dozens of areas and will have an idea where my best odds are to hunt an older deer when the season gets here. Then I can break those areas down and play cat and mouse. I still plan to shine and glass cause they're both fun, but it's hard to do this things effectively when there arent too many fields around. It's really just about locating a older buck which is something I struggle with close to home. I leave my home area and it's no problem, we just dont have a lot of em here. So that tells me I need to work harder and smarter and try some new inventory tactics.
Right now I'm thinking I will make the mock scrapes at locations that had good buck sign during spring scouting, ones that have in the past, funnels, etc.
Great!! I looked a little for it myself this AM. But couldn't hit on the correct word combo. Please post a link when you have time. I need to bookmark that one!! I'll bookmark this one too!
Whoops, forgot to paste it- thanks again!
