    I never do any recon....i i rather be surprised whats there when i get there.Besides, couldnt help myself and take a rifle and velvet stags are just great eating so they just end up
    on the deck. Like to give this time of year a miss until mid feb or March where the stags are still in good nick and hard antler..
    Did see a 8 pointer in velvet when trying to get out and set up a game camera and i know where he be.

    I only posted to see if anyone was looking at new ground and to put the thought into your heads…only 4 months to the roar…I’d not shoot the ones in velvet. But I would knock over any yearlings or hinds that had not dropped a fawn.
