This week Mark covers what you can be doing right now to prep and scout deer for early season and rut hunting.  Changes on the landscape, food plots and agriculture crops should be assessed to determine how deer will use them this year.  Especially, when you can identify "deer magnet" sites that other hunters will overlook.  Like a clear cut.   

Mature bucks are hiding out in tight core areas.  Locate now to help reduce pressure during mid to late summer.  Bucks will remain in these core areas up until the pre-rut.  Locating pregnant doe group bedding now will improve your rut hunting.
