It's better spending a little time, and prepping kill tree's in the bedding areas you're finding right away. If you find better and never go back, nothing hurt.
I probably have 60+ spots prepped. I've maybe only hunted 3/4 of them.
I learned the hard way of not prepping trees when I scout. Very easy to think you will come back then next thing you know your hunting a un prepped set. Now I always carry a scheers with me.
