tyler79+Followfound my best hunting spots using this method✌️After years of trial and error, I've learned to read the woods like a map. It's all about the sign - fresh deer trails, droppings, and food sources are my gold. White oaks are money trees, especially in mast years. I look for pinch points like creek crossings or benches on steep slopes where deer naturally funnel through. When I find two trails crossing near a good food source? That's my jackpot spot. The magic happens when you layer it all - trail intersection + white oak + easy creek crossing + right wind direction. That's where I set up and consistently see deer. #hunting #DeerScouting #HuntingSpots #Outdoors 183Share
bushjill+FollowI didn’t understand deer rubs—until I missed oneI used to walk right past rubs and scrapes without thinking twice—until the day I missed a buck by minutes and realized I’d been ignoring a flashing neon sign. Since then, I’ve learned to read deer sign like a map. Fresh rubs? Look for bright, sap-streaked bark. Scrapes? Damp earth under a branch that’s been chewed or snapped. Once you learn to read these clues, it feels like eavesdropping on a buck’s secret routine. The more I pay attention, the better I get at predicting where they’ll be—especially when the rut is heating up. Anyone else finding fresh scrapes this early in the season? #hunting #deerscouting #rubsandscrapes #huntingtips381Share
Manuel Bright+FollowWhy Shed Hunting Is More Than Antlers?Started shed hunting just for cool antlers, but it's become so much more! Here's why every hunter should try it: 1️⃣ Ultimate scouting - finding sheds shows you exactly where big bucks hang out and their travel patterns 2️⃣ Keeps you outdoors and fit during off-season, plus amazing bonding time with kids 3️⃣ You become a habitat detective - spotting food sources, wildlife signs, and even conservation issues Now I'm mapping bedding areas and feeding zones like a pro. Come hunting season, I already know where the giants are hiding! #shedhunting #deerscouting #OffseasonPrep 201Share
