I mark bedding sites, scrapes and rubs and high use trails on my gps and refer to it if I hunt there.

Post by: Jonathan_S on February 20, 2014, 08:36:09 AM: I am in the woods a lot still but I can't access most of my preferred deer or elk areas because they're pretty well snowed in for the winter. I don't have the time to hike in for 8 hours.

Last weekend I found a new area that I'm very excited about for next year. It's where I believe several bucks live that I could only catch on camera here and there last summer.
