Moto - Here is an article on early season scouting that you may find helpful.
http://www.trophyhuntingobsession.com/d ... ting-tips/One of my favorite ways to locate deer is by viewing a satellite image of the hunting property. It's easy enough to find your property on Google Earth and look for funnels and pinch points. Once I feel confident that I've found a few hot spots I will then visit the area for a closer look.
Hope this helps, good luck!
