When to hunt a property

Unread postby Bowtechassassin » Tue Jan 24, 2023 1:31 pm

I walked a piece of public today looking for sign. All I found was 2 small rubs and a single scrape from this fall. My question is when do you know a property is worth hunting and when is it not?

Take a look at the property by driving around it and looking at the cover... Ask yourself. Can a deer survive 2 or more seasons here with a rack on his head? Will gun hunters effective kill the o er all majority of raced bucks? of is the cover adäquate tjat tjey can survive despite gun hunters nest effort? One you narrow it down to properties you believe can hold good bucks then start speed scouting the transitions and look for big buck sign... There should be rubs that are waste high or higher to run Center if its a good property. If not, keep looking
