This year I'm actually gonna scout more instead of winging it

[Alan]

Every season I tell myself I'll scout properly. Then September hits and I'm just guessing where to hunt...this year, that changes! I'm putting in the off-season work. What hunting or outdoor habit are you actually committing to change in 2026? Let's hold each other accountable.

Many hunters I chat with want to do more glassing and less hoping. Better maps, more pre-season hikes and fewer opening day surprises seem to be what they're after.
