Broken Bodies & Non-Resident Hunts

If you live in the midwest or the south and haven't done any scouting this year, I hate to say it, but you missed out on the perfect time of the year to scout. With that said scouting now is still better than no scouting at all. On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan gives his opinions about what we should all be doing right now to find better hunting locations for the fall. Dan talks about when trail cameras should go up, locating terrain features through e-scouting vs. boots on the ground, and knowing that just because deer are in a specific area right now, doesn't mean that they will be there come hunting season. This is a short, yet educational episode that might just help you get ready for the upcoming deer hunting season. Enjoy and share!
