Field Scout Tips
- Nothing is in season today — pure scouting window. Walk property lines, check trail cams, and hang stands for the opener.
- Mild temps — perfect for cutting shooting lanes and pulling cards without spooking game.
- Wet ground reveals fresh tracks and rubs. Excellent recon conditions.
- Use closed season to inventory deer, locate gobblers on the roost, and pattern hog sign for when seasons return.
