Been thinking...
How much time and effort do you invest in an area before you deem it's no worth the effort and move on?
If you've been scouting and are interested in a new area, how many days hunting or hours scouting do each of you put in before making a "pass" determination or a "keeper"? What qualifications do you have: tracks, scat, rubs, viewing of animals, etc.
Does it involve digital scouting like game cams?
Of course it depends on each hunter and their camp, Ive heard of the tradtional families going to the same spot for decades: same camp, same swamp and same blinds for moose for multiple generations.
Or there are others, like me a at times, if i dont see any sign or indicators that pique my interest ill move until something does.
Personally, im slowly realizing it depends on several things, sometimes we cant explain why:
some years are knockout good, some years same place and time and the weather is completely different than years prior and it very slow activity if any.
Some years, same weather and its dead slow.
just talking is all. thoughts...
