All this scouting and “buck’s bedroom” stuff....... if you find his “bedroom “ and it’s in daylight hours there’s a good chance he was laying there and you done run him off, making him that much harder to kill. I get excited when I find a lot of buck sign in a thick place but then I start thinking I’ve done stunk this place up brushing up against these limbs and bushes. I’ve got about 60 acres of limestone and cedar thickets that I get in my head I could kill a good deer on but on the other hand I hate to stomp thru it cause I think that’s where the majority of my deer live.

I wish I knew what the happy medium was concerning scouting vs stinking.
