Bowhunting’s biggest challenge is getting whisper-close to wild game.

To conquer that short-range challenge, bowhunters gather information from the woods and use those insights to compress a large property into a few key spots.

The process of gathering that vital information is called “scouting.” When scouting a site you’ll look for tracks, water, droppings, game trails, bedding areas and feeding areas. These signs and areas tell bowhunters where they can find deer as they eat, drink, rest and travel. As you accumulate information, you hold key puzzle pieces.

Favored food sources for deer vary by region, but include apples, berries, acorns (especially from white oaks), agricultural fields, young plant shoots, and nuts like pecans, hickory and chestnuts.

During droughts and hot, windy weather, water sources can be deer magnets. Ponds, streams, swamps and livestock tanks all attract thirsty deer. A deer’s bedding area usually includes thick, dense cover that hides them from predators, and shields them from cold and wind. Good deer cover often features thick brush or tall weeds, and dense canopies of low-hanging boughs on cedars, spruce and other conifers.

In the video below, we take you on a summer scouting trip where you’ll learn how to read deer sign and find potential hunting spots.
