What to do on multi-day white-tail hunts

[Rich M]

When I travel hunt it is about finding the animals, and then hunting. First morning would find me watching what i think is a good area til 10:30 and then covering ground to find deer til about 3:30 and then setting up shop in another good looking area. Scouting might be as easy as walking backwoods roads/2 tracks looking for a big track or two in order to know where to focus your energy.

You've already spent hours looking at aerials and topo maps - you should be at least near the zone. If not, find it quickly and then hunt it.

I would still hunt all day. The idea of sitting in one spot all day makes me start getting bored already. The only time I stay in one spot is when I can count on other hunters pushing deer past me.

Still hunting would be the last thing I would do down here.
I would find fresh buck sign and hunt it.

How would you hunt it? Sit there and stare at it?

That’s the more productive way.
