^^^^^THIS^^^^^ x100

If you aren't field hunting I'm not sure how you do it otherwise. Waiting till the end of the season and scouting in February should be done as well, but deer patterns change when food sources in the woods change. Therefore, I scout during the season as well as after.

How? I still hunt the area where I want to go "scouting". I don't think I can explain how to do that on the internet and have met maybe enough people that I could count on one hand I'd say were good at it. Not easy but very valuable skill in my opinion.
