I did some scouting today walked over 6 miles and had some exciting finds. Found numerous buck and doe beds and discovered additional islands to hunt next fall. Just off of one island there were numerous single trees in the cattails, I found old beds by most of them. Big tracks, big rubs, September cannot come to soon.

Not a bad sized track.

Buck bed.

This rub was chest high, gets a guy excited! :dance:

I found this tree 1.5 miles through some nasty marsh. Notice the scrape marks on the bark, probably another Hunting Beast memeber :D

Overall I was very happy with the scouting trip. I will be back in the spring to verify some of the beds (some beds had not been used in a while). Then I will be ready to hunt.

Thanks for sharing. Love seeing the scouting bed pictures.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

This time of year with the marsh frozen it is not too bad. Now dragging one out when it is not frozen is another thing :x

JM-I hope we're not scouting/hunting the same beds! I live in West Bend. I assume that you're close by, given your HB name. PM if you want...we can discuss. :)
