I went into my first season of hunting last year blind, and quickly realize how much valuable hunting time I was wasting by trying to split my time each week between scouting for the following week and actually hunting.
Last year I focused on whitetails, and this year I'd like to also target mule deer in higher country for some spot and stalk hunting. and am operating under the impression that scouting around now into early June will mimic the conditions of the fall hunting season.
Can anybody give me some pointers on a good use of my time and energy? I'm thinking about exploring burns that are 1 - 2 years old and 6-7 years old - finding good country and spend time glassing looking for animals.
Advice would be appreciated
