2016 Scouting Goals

Unread postby Twenty Up » Tue Jan 05, 2016 1:12 am

Post up your 2016 Scouting Goals, maybe we can keep each other liable to our goals and offer some support.

My Goals:
Locate a 160" buck's beds (Seen him in person & buddies trail cam pics)
Find travel directions & wind of beds located this year (4)
Expand & locate mature bucks on 3-5 more WMA's

My biggest drawback for 2015 was accessibility, most of the land I hunt has limited time frames to get on deer. With a busy schedule this gave me very few opportunities to get on the bucks I had located.

What are your goals? Why were you successful/unsuccessful in 2015?

My goal is to scout out all the waterfowl managed game areas north of me. They typically have wildlife refuge areas and Im hoping that might pay off with allowing bucks to get another year older.

Have 30 kill trees prepped and trimmed near my house (17 left to to do), have 6 spots in my upper Michigan spot 8 hours away, and at least 6 spots in my western Wisconsin spot about 7.5 hours away. I'm already chomping at the bit cuz we're gonna be on 56-72 hr weeks almost all year so I'm gonna have to scout like crazy to get everything done in time.

Hunt more, learn more, and scout more then I ever have. 2016 will be my first try at the beast style and being 100% mobile. I will have one permanent stand on a private 40. My goal is to only hunt it 3-4 times max because I will have way more public land trees picked out! I also want to work harder at being 100% organized and have my stand and all equipment prepped to be silent. Last but not least I want to have a confident, killer attitude!
