Wasn't sure whether to put this question here or in big game but here it goes - so I just got my license and I'm excited to get out and hunt this year. I'm interested in rabbits, pig, and deer. Ideally, I'd have a mentor but no such luck since no one I know hunts. I've been reading up on hunting deer and it seems like the name of the game is scout, scout, scout. I think I'm going to try and get tags for D19 and maybe D16. I have a young family so I may focus on one area since I won't have a ton of time to scout both zones. When do people start scouting? How often? How useful are trail cams? I'm an avid hiker so I don't mind going off the road. It seems like around Lake Hemet would be a good area since there is water there so long as I avoid the refuge and private land. I'm going to pull some maps but are there any other major water sources around? I'm excited to get out and put in some work, but some tips on how to do it effectively would be helpful before I head out so I don't waste my time. Also, are there any good books/sources on deer hunting which would be helpful? Thanks!
