Or should I say ... really early scouting.....
Curious, how many of you have done some scouting after the hunts are over, for a hunt coming a year later? Maybe winter scouting for a late-season hunt the next year.
Using Colorado as a example, for a guy holding a 3rd or 4th season tag, in many units scouting is tough early because so many of the deer will, or may, move to the winter range before the hunt.
Just curious. I've done a bit of December scouting in the past, and it has helped. Not for turning up a particular deer the next season, but more to identify areas that hold more game than others.
I know many of the late-season Colorado hunts are opportunities that most are only going to get once or twice every 10 years or so. If you thought you could draw 4th season tag for a good unit this year, would you scout it now? Or just take your chances next November?
