lolson+FollowI always do more work in July than hunting seasonJust got back from checking my spots and can't stress enough how crucial July prep is. Made the mistake of skipping this a few years back and paid for it all season long. Here's what I'm hitting hard right now: 1️⃣ Food plot check - drought hit my clover hard this year, already replanting before it's too late 2️⃣ Water sources - with temps climbing, deer patterns revolve around water. Found three new seeps I never knew existed 3️⃣ Low-impact scouting - deer aren't spooked yet, perfect time to find those bedding-to-feeding routes and hang stands 4️⃣ Early season setups - ag fields are starting to show which trails get heavy use The beauty of July work is deer barely notice you're there. Come September, you'll know exactly where to be while other hunters are still figuring out the property. What's your biggest July scouting priority this year? #hunting #deerhunting #scouting #huntingprep10Share
lolson+FollowWore winter hunting boots in June - big mistake! 🥵Tried wearing my insulated winter boots on a summer scouting trip—huge mistake. My feet were cooked, soaked, and sore after just a few miles. That’s when I realized: summer hunting boots aren’t optional. Lightweight, breathable, and waterproof makes all the difference when you’re on your feet in the heat. What boots do you guys swear by for summer scouting or early-season hunts? #hunting #huntingboots #summerhunting #scouting #huntingfails21Share
