O.K. I admit it. At times I find myself envious, even jealous of the pro-hunters and fisher folk that made the big time. They get to hunt or own expansive tracts of private ground and hunt the big name ranches. Basically do the things that I dream about doing.

Trapped in a workaday world, an average outdoorsman has to squeeze a busy schedule just to find time to slug it out on the public lands and small tracts of private property that one has been lucky enough to garner permission to enter. I`m sure that many of you out there can relate to this. 

That`s one of my reasons for this project. I want to give some insight into the other side of outdoor adventures, the side not often seen in the hunting and fishing shows on the T.V. While we may scrimp and save to charter a boat, or take a guided hunt, we're basically  trying to enjoy the outdoors on layman's terms, sharing those adventures with you!

Any hunter knows that scouting over the summer is a must if you want to get a shot at deer this fall. It even more important if you're hunting on public land. It doesn't matter how well you know the area, there's always changes in deer patterns based on available food sources and bedding cover. You can also find that your reliable spots have had trees fall that obstruct your shooting lanes or even the tree you planned on using has fallen or died making it unsafe. In the video below, you'll find scouting tips that just may make this falls season a success. It may be warm, but put in your homework this summer!
