As the leaves begin to turn green many of us start dreaming of hitting the woods for that next big gobbler. We get our gear ready for the big day and hit the road as soon is it arrives thinking only of one thing....Turkey hunting! However, there is something more that we can do while we are in search of that big Tom.
While in the woods take advantage of the opportunity to do some early scouting for deer. Spring turkey hunting can be a challenge, but once you locate the birds chances are you have located a pretty promising spot to set up for deer hunting later in the year. Do not pass up the opportunity to look around for sign. You may well be passing up locating your best chance at tagging a monster buck. Remember turkey and deer will often hang out in the same areas so finding one often means locating the other as well.
If you are going to spend all that time in the woods looking for that turkey honey hole, you might as well kill two birds with one stone. Im not suggesting that you scout during turkey season and forget about it the rest of the year, but this early scouting can give you a heads up on where to begin your work later on.
