So what are you all learning?

Yup, August is well under way, so it's likely that a lot of you are starting to snoop around and, scouting, and beginning to check on deer locations, and patterns and food sources, and starting to learn of any deer pattern changes, or verification of old patterns and any changes to habitat. So is your scouting time yielding any useful info? What are you seeing? What are you learning?

Can’t say don’t scout, haven’t set foot on  my spot since March . May hang two cameras Wed .

Food sources , I have driven by, corn to the south ,beans east ,corn to the  north , disc land to the west .

Don’t scout likely won’t know until sept 27th and a couple weeks after that up north.

I do know that deer will eat sleep and in a few months breed somewhere in the middle of that I’ll be there.

I have a few spots picked out for the bow opener that have current deer activity. 

But I've learned over the years, where deer are in August is no indication of where they will be in November.  I do my scouting for rifle deer in October while Grouse or Turkey hunting.

I like to scout right after the season and then through shed hunting season. I'll do some stand moves during that time too. August is spent observing deer in fields and seeing what shows up on trail cams.  It's interesting to see how the deer patterns start to change a little towards the end of summer and how each day has me thinking more and more about the fall woods .  Bow season opens in 42 days.

Ive been doing some stand maintenance and checking trail cameras, so far seeing good activity, but not sure what will come in a month when it matters. I will pull cards twice more before october first probably.  . And that last pull will tell me everything i want to know
