This is my favorite time of year to scout. The woods is full of fresh sign easy to see, and for those of us who hunt public land it is usually easy to see where others are focusing their efforts. This helps to weed out a lot of area. It helps me identify escape routes and sanctuaries and then identify pinch points for those. Also, for the first time ever, I have put out a couple of trail cams so I am anxious to see what that produces after a few weeks.
As for sheds. I am terrible at finding those. Either, I've never had access to good wintering ground for bucks, or I just flat out stink at finding them. I'm thinking I'd have to trip over one to find one. Though, I know this is a time when many hunters have success finding them.
Whatever your pursuit, this is a great time to get out in the woods. You can disturb the deer and it doesn't matter. They will certainly be back. So, this might be a good thread for others to share picks of sheds or any other interesting finds.
