Non Hunting Property Scouting/Shed Hunting

Unread postby **Redman232** » Fri Mar 28, 2014 3:53 am

Just go permission on close to 600 acres (150 wooded/scrub brush), of no hunting/no access private land. It is located across the road from and 80 acre farm I can hunt. I was planning on shed hunting the property just to get outside. Do you think there is any value in scouting the property knowing I cannot hunt it?

Yes. It might help you hunt the land you have permission to hunt and you took the first step to acquiring permission on this new piece.

I agree a foot in the door.

I wish, it's a commercial property, unless they decide to sell some of the land in the future.

I would definitely scout it and then maybe muddy the best buck bedding during season.

Good call Palmetto, I didn't think of that. I can't hunt it but I never thought of bumping them out of there. God I love this site. The property I hunt is the best bedding around, if I don't over pressure it, it's swarming with deer by the end of October. The only other "refuge" is this huge chunk of private land across the road. I'm so glad I went ahead and asked.

hanging cameras on their property isn't considered hunting it either!

Did a quick 2 hr shed hunt/scout on the property this weekend. Definitely worth it, I would probably give my left umm, thing, to hunt the property. I was pretty surprised, it didn't look like anyone was sneaking on the property to hunt, which I half expected. Anyways, I found what I think is a match set of sheds from what should be a really good deer this year. They were about a 1/2 mile apart. One of the sides was about 50 yards across the road from the property I can hunt, in a north south running finger of woods along a creek that flows across the road(to where I can hunt). We saw 50+ deer, so I'm sure there are more sheds out there but we go cut short by the snow. The sheds I found are a main frame 8 pointer with split brows and a 9th point should form this year. They both have a broken G3 but the G2's are 10-11''. I'll add photos shortly.
