Scouting 02-03-12

Unread postby AC Rider » Wed Feb 08, 2012 5:06 pm

I thought I'd post some pics of the sweet setup I found the other day. I had hunted this area before but I wanted to get back in during the winter to really check it out. I cruised the transition line along the cattails and paid special attention to a finger jutting out into the cattails. Here I found a textbook big buck bed with hair in it and three trails coming and going from it.

All the trails converged in a patch of tagalder's just inside the point. Here I found several good rubs and it is obvious he's staging here.

The staging area is abourt 80 yards from the bed. I picked out the closest tree to set up in and prepped it for September. This spot is a textbook Beast style marsh bed setup and I'm pumped I've added it to my list of hopefull kill spots.
