the end of the season scouting is great! especially when the snow in on the ground. i hang stands sometimes according to travel routes where there are ALOT of tracks. i did this last year and found one specific area of travel i decided to hang a stand. this was in december. i hung it, put a trail cam out the next season first week i got over 600 trail cam pics and a bruiser 140" monster. Unfortunatly i hunted it 1 time and it was an evening hunt. i got in there late had about an hour and half left of light i saw over 15 deer that night.
that was the first time i did that late season scotting, i will be doing this again this year.
