Scouting before the 1st season, with a second season tag will have mixed results. Those goats get scattered with the 1 st season pressure.
I do know of a couple of times guys located good bucks in ?out of the way? places and killed them during the 2nd season.
But there is a week between seasons to scout and i?ve seen some really good bucks taken during the second season.
Spending 30+ days in the unit most years, I know things change yearly. With this wet winter, they should be pretty scattered, even in August. A good thing in my opinion.
I want to get out there this week to see how wet/muddy it really is, maybe Friday or Saturday when the weather clears for a few days.
