My 3 Tips for Scouting Public Land to Deer Hunt

Jon and Jake head out to scout a new piece of public land in New York and go over the three main things they look for on a new piece.

Jon please do more of these type of videos, NY is so different (like you mentioned bedding based on sight) and the public is hunted hard. I would like to see more of finding the access/parking would be great. All of my local hunting areas have been over-run with hunters in the past couple years. Every parking spot and even the sides of the road are being fill up. I seem to do great once I find a track of public land not full of people. Even in the big woods sleeping in a lean-to we run into other trackers... I never used to see anyone locally just wondering what to do. I have even crossed the entire state to try the western part and there were more deer and bigger racked on average, but still the same lots of hunters at every spot problem.

Us north eastern guys need more videos like this. So much more relate-able than the Midwest boys

Can you do an episode on telling the difference between good buck sign and the correct buck sign. The "X SPOT" so to speak. Also, the difference in between summer pattern into fall deer patterns. What do you look for and how do you tell the difference?
