Pre-season scouting

Last night Luke and I went out a little before dark and watched a bean field that we will be hunting this Fall. Last week we watched four bucks from the road. Usually this time of year bucks are in "bachelor groups" and when you see one - you will see more. One of the bucks last week was a pretty good one, but we were 500-600 yards away. Last night we tried to get a little closer to see what we have for this year, but we only watched one doe come out and then it got too dark to stay.

One thing I would like to pass on that really worked for us. The bugs last night were awful and sitting in chest high weeds, in between a bean and corn field, we about got carried away. HOWEVER, I brought my Thermacell and in 5 minutes Luke and I enjoyed the evening with ZERO bugs. If you have not heard of the Thermacell, you need to go get one. I have taken this little gadget with many many times and it always works. Best $20 I have ever spent. Here is more info:
