10. Scouting must be done prior to June 1

A: SCOUTING-Scouting is the act of assessing where you will place your stands, travel patterns of the deer and overall desirability of a particular area to you the hunter. This is the most impacting to the deer and is definitely the type of land access and behavior that makes the whitetails change their patterns and become a nocturnal creature. It is imperative that all heavy scouting and foot traffic be done prior to June 1

B: CORN PLACEMENT/CLIMBER RELOCATION-This may be done any day of the week between June 1

-No more than two people at one time

-No off trail venturing or scouting of any kind shall be performed

-Be as quiet, odor free and quick as possible.

Studies on collared deer have shown that almost every time a hunter penetrated an area the mature deer in that core area are aware of your visit. Once is fine, twice is questionable but three times and the deer will relocate at a long distance away. We will not tolerate the unnecessary impact of the casual hunter who claims they did not have time to scout and learn the land prior to June 1
