Saturday/Sunday scouting trip.

Unread postby Jackson Marsh » Thu Mar 15, 2012 3:12 pm

I am planning an all day scouting trip on Saturday, and half day on Sunday. This is only part of the area, but it looks very promising. If anyone has time, I am open to suggestions. This will be a rut hunt.

I took a look at the topo and here is the spots I came up with.

1. This spot looks like a slight saddle and pinch point.

2. This spot looks like it could be a good hub location catching bucks going from ridge to ridge.

3. Saddle and pinchpoint just on the edge of field could produce.

4. I love spots like this. Try to find the trail that goes just above the big cut and set up. They will use this trail as a spot to cross above the deep cut instead of going up and down it.

I would check these spots for beds and pick my stand trees based on what I find

Thanks Dan and BigHills. The area is a nice sized chunk of public, the partial map I posted seems to be the farthest away from access, also has the most interesting topography.
