Relocating Summer Bucks

When trying to relocate bucks, I draw a three-mile-radius circle on a map with the summer range at the center. Next I search this circle for feed, water, and preferred bedding areas. Then it’s time to get the spotting scope out and hit the trail.

I did just that a couple of years ago. I found a promising ridge and decided to walk it out. The first basin was deserted, and so was the second. In the third basin, I found the deer. I watched the bucks until they bedded for the day.

Stay as far away from the deer as possible. The damage from overscouting is always irreparable.
