For bowhunters, next to practice, the one activity that is ongoing is scouting.
It begins in the spring, intensifies during the summer and into the fall, and continues even for those who hunt in the snow during Pennsylvania's later bowhunting deer season. And thinking "outside of the box" when scouting is one of the best ways to increase success when bowhunting savvy whitetails.
Just such an approach helped save a bowhunt for one hunter, who after hitting a buck, saw it tuck its tail and scramble in the manner of a deer hard hit, only to disappear into a stand of pine trees.

Although deer will be traveling from bedding to feeding areas during warmer daytime temperatures in the early season, they limit those distances as much as possible. If hunting over a food plot, it is possible to bump deer out when arriving, or deer may be bedding so near that they see a hunter climb into a stand.
It is important to analyze the area and carefully pick stand locations, and it is important to spray clothing and gear liberally with a scent-killing spray before making the trek to a stand and re-spray after arriving. Since spreading some body scent is inevitable, try to limit the use of the same stand.
