This blog post is meant for one reason, and that's to get you to think, and then act upon that thought. So technically two reasons. Take a second, and think about yourself as a deer hunter at a high level. What have you been good at, and what have you consistently struggled with? Chew on that for a little while, and then think about this past season. What did you do better than in previous seasons? How did you get better? Was it because of continued learning, or did you make it a priority to get better at it? Finally, I challenge you to grab the nearest piece of paper and writing utensil, and write down one thing you want to get better at next season. After you do, think about what you can do over the summer months for that goal to materialize.

Spring is officially in the air here in my neck of the woods. This time of the year is a fascinating time to be out in the whitetail woods. The abundance of information you can learn right now can pay massive dividends in future years when it comes to whitetail hunting. What makes this time of the year so unique is a multifaceted ability to see the timber in such a way that it will look in the fall, and it also gives you the ability to walk areas you wouldn't dream of stepping foot in during the summer and fall. With that, there are certain things you can look for when scouting in the spring to become more knowledgeable about your deer hunting area, and to hopefully increase your success level in the coming years. 

Have you ever read an article or watched a Television show where somebody claimed that the only way to shoot big bucks is to do "x"? That if you don't use this product, or don't apply that strategy, you won't be successful hunting big bucks? I'm not trying to knock anyone, or anything of that nature, but what frustrates me is some of the people that say things like this, are people that others look up to and will listen to.
