    Deer Scouting Reports

    Just got back from AZ and I was seeing loads of animals, Antelope, Deer, Elk....I didnt put in for the draw but am banking on the OTC tags late season which is fine because it coincides with a lion hunt Im going on. Here I've seen a few deer in the early mornings moving around nothing much though.

    So I am also new to the area and have been scouting the Lagunas. From what I've read its mostly stand or blind hunting? I am very familiar with this coming from the midwest and hunting whitetail. But with the shear number of hunters does this also make spot and stalk hunting near impossible? How...

    Hunter from the Midwest, New to SoCal Hunting
