O.K. I admit it. At times I find myself envious, even jealous of the pro-hunters and fisher folk that made the big time. They get to hunt or own expansive tracts of private ground and hunt the big name ranches. Basically do the things that I dream about doing.

Trapped in a workaday world, an average outdoorsman like myself has to squeeze a busy schedule just to find time to slug it out on the public lands and small tracts of private property that one has been lucky enough to garner permission to enter. I`m sure that many of you out there can relate to this. 

That`s one of my reasons for this project. I want to give some insight into the other side of outdoor adventures, the side not often seen in the hunting and fishing shows on the T.V. While we may scrimp and save to charter a boat, or take a guided hunt, I don`t own a big vessel to run around offshore in, or large acres of private land to hunt on.

Mike is an avid archery hunter. But hunting deer with the bow and arrow takes more than just walking out in the woods and sitting down to be successful. This is even more the case on heavily hunted public lands. Year round scouting is often the ticket to putting venison in the freezer. But if you don't have a lot of time on your hands to spend in the woods, or have not been able to get out for whatever reason, summer can be a great time to gather Intel for that stand location! Join him below as he walks you through some of the methods and offers tips on how to find a good spot to try when deer seasons open!
