How do you scout new land?
ActiveTrapChecker:
I have received permission to hunt a parcel that is in one of the WMU's i have a doe permit for. Before I get the batteries in the trail cams and go for a hike in a few weeks, I thought I'd solicit the thoughts of the forum.
How do you prepare for a hunting season on a fresh parcel of land?

What do you have for a water source ; Then you have any old logging skid roads ; Topo map's will give an idea before you hike it .......

I always start with topo maps, then satellite imagery and a Gazetteer.
ActiveTrapChecker:
Thanks Green Mountain Hunter and Fishnmachine.
GMH, it is relatively flat 27.7 acre property with a creek that runs through it. There are additional parcels outside of those 27+ acres owned by third parties.
Machine, have taken a look at the topo maps and as stated above, not a lot of variation, although there should be some that feed into the creek.
I think next steps will be to walk the property with the owner, mark the property bounders on a GPS site and throw some cameras up.
They hope to have one or more less does eating the garden come next springs...
I will keep you posted as I go along, in the event you want to travel the journey as well
