[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1320016, member: 5412"] I know where your coming from when you went to the woods and did not have a clue about what your supposed to be looking for. Here are a couple of things I always look for when scouting: #1 is a creek crossing. Typically several trails will come together at some point for a creek crossing. Creeks normally have large mature trees that are good for tree stands. #2 food sources. Are the trails heading to a grove of acorn trees, or somebodies wheat/corn/milo etc field? #3 Deer are edge dwellers. Most of the time they will stay within 25 yds of the tree line. Look there for a trail. Depending on the density of the deer in the area your scouting, it may be a well used trail beat into dirt, or just an area where the grass is walked down. [/QUOTE]
