I have no cameras, but I do quite a bit of early scouting for both Deer and small game and it is usually combined with other activities like stump shooting with one of my recurves or plinking with one of my air guns. Also a good time to get my dogs in the woods and do some training. I go along observing mast crops and game trails along with finding other game sign, I just like being in the woods taking a walk and see what is out there, it is good for the soul. Al

Remember all the Trump haters who brought us to this point! May you all rot in hell!

I have to wonder about the value of summer scouting. I guess it does give you an idea of what deer are in the area. But I have to say that patterns and areas where they might be now, are no indication of where they will be when Fall weather comes around. The feeding patterns are 100% different. The cover is different, and of course when rut slides in whatever you think you are learning during the summer months is all changed. I like to see what the fawn crop looks like and see if I recognize any of the survivors from last hunting season just out of curiosity, but little else is learned this time of year. I am way too busy this time of year to get too involved with learning things that will be completely different when hunting season comes around. But I am willing to learn new stuff. What do you all learn from summer scouting?

Nothing beat's boot's on the ground scouting. Cameras are just another tool in the shed. If you have reception, Cell cam's are a great investment. We really only use them if we're having an issue with trespassers or have a big buck pinpointed in an area. I use them a lot more during coyote season. During the deer season we see a lot of bucks that have never been seen on camera and some of the big bucks we do see on camera aren't seen till after the season ends. If we lease or get permission to hunt a new property, we use the spy high camera mounts to avoid theft. For me, It's too hot out to scout. I sit in the AC and view pics on my cell phone with a cold beverage. SJC

Kamala???? We will be a third world country before her first 100 days! She was a political tool herself. A "black" woman to win votes. The "sheep" will do whatever they are told and it would wind up either her or Michelle. America would be doomed. Trump is our last chance to save our country. If he does not get in, it will effectively be Obama's fourth term and we all remember how hell bent he was on destroying America. He is too damn close. We NEED Joe to stay in it.

The " hate promoters" in this country have to be held accountable. Their on news networks, talk shows, and especially in the Biden administration. The left will do what ever it takes to promote their adenda. Tear this country apart, if need be. They have nothing else left. Companies that sponsor this sort of tactic can be financial influenced to change their motives. We as Americans can take the steps to turn this country around. We should have never let it get this way. Alot of hard work needs to be done. I'm counting on us. I know we can do it.
