The best hunters know that the season doesn't start on opening day; it starts months before. Spring is the perfect time to shake off the winter rust, grab your optics, and get boots on the ground. Before the foliage gets too dense, you have a unique opportunity to learn the lay of the land, identify new game trails, and locate potential bedding areas.
This is also the ideal time to test out that new chest rig or bino harness you picked up over the winter. Get comfortable with your gear now so you aren't fumbling when it counts. In this post, we discuss our strategy for early-season scouting and what signs we look for that indicate a productive fall ahead.
