Summary

Postseason scouting is the best time to learn what deer are doing and build year-over-year knowledge. In this episode we break down what to look for after the season—defined trails, bedding areas, scrape movement, and how leaf-off conditions reveal where deer feel most secure. We also answer questions on mock scrapes, trail cam timing, and whether you should hunt a clearcut from the ground or elevated. Got a question for the show?

1:23.8

Yeah. Like I would actually, I'd be more interested, find those areas those deer are actually still using for bedding now. And actually, I'd be kind of interested in bumping some out and seeing what they're using. And how does that look now versus what it's going to look like in the summer or early fall? Yeah. I think that kind of could help you figure out some of the spots that they feel super comfortable in. So as you get into those
