Since I got my license late and didn't really have time to properly plan a hunting season I didn't do as well I would of liked, so this year I'm starting early to prepare.
What I would like to know is what others do ahead of time, do any of you plant feed in an area in hopes of attracting deer and getting them use to feeding in a certain spot all year so when deer season rolls around you know where they'll be?
Do you pick out and area and scout it out through spring and summer with field cams?
Mind you I'm doing this all on public land (WMAs) so I'm still looking into what local laws allow, but I also know that anything I do can be used by other hunters if they get to my spot before me.
I appreciate any help or input, I want to be ready this season to bag a few deer.
