What kind of scouting do you do and what resources do you utilize to pick the spots you hunt?
If you’re just going in blind and hoping to see deer the success rate isn’t gonna be very high. Boots on the ground preseason to identify travel corridors, creek crossings, bedding areas, food sources, etc plus the use of good topo maps to locate pinch points and saddles is a good place to start. Also like joshm28 pointed out, deer are creatures of edges. Whether it’s hardwood to pine or mature timber to cutover, they love cruising edges. Anytime I’m hunting a new spot that I haven’t had time to effectively scout the area, you can bet the house on me hunting an edge of some sort.
