It's been about 8 years since my last successful deer hunt. I have the common problem of being able to find deer all year scouting but come hunting season no matter how much or how little hunting pressure it seem like the deer are ghost. To add to all of this the last 5 years I moved from ME to WA and just moved to CO so it means having to find new spots all over again. I wanted to get some advice or just general thoughts on my plans for this year from you guys.
I got a tip from a coworker about a spot that looks promising(granted he's not a hunter). I was thinking of buying multiple trail cams and just focusing on just this one area as its a fairly good size chunk of public land with no roads around it or access other than this 1 point. My old tactics would be to drive, hike and scout out multiple spots but out here in the west it's tough, do to how big the country is. I would maybe find another spot or two as a back up spots. I'm trying to use spots that are about 1-2 hours away from the house if possible. What's your thoughts on this idea of scouting the hell out of one area instead of lightly scouting multiple spots?
