Awright - here's a question for ya...
While I love to go back to familiar areas (hey, it's the best way to hunt) I also love to explore new areas. Over the years, we've developed a kind of 'routine' for scouting on the fly and figuring out a new area. There are things that seem to be always present when you find deer, geographic and water features for example, as well as other clues that give away what's going on locally.
It takes a couple of days to figure an area out. I'm curious, does anyone else have a 'system' for quickly figuring out what's going on in an area? Or any things that are a dead giveaway to you? (no- running over one doesn't count). Or does everyone pretty much stay put year after year?
