Look for the Trails
This time of year I am getting all the licenses and and permits scheduled for the upcoming season but the most important thing I am doing is keeping track of those well used trails that cross the roads. With the snow on the ground and the roadways the deer will travel a lot more looking for food.
Just by driving around and making a mental note of these well used trails could put you on the path of some good possible hunting land. So take note and when time permits nock on a few doors, you never know when you hit that magic hunting spot just because you noticed trail in the snow and nocked on a door.

Amen to that.
Even if you are on a property you normally hunt, paying attention to trails this time of year and really make things a lot more clear for you.
Great tip Rick.
This is a great time of year to get out and check things out. Some of the bucks have started dropping antlers, trails are easy to spot, rubs and scrapes are still visible, and you can move through bedding areas with little fear of messing up your hunting. Of course up north you have snow to contend with so it may not be as good as it is here in the south.
Arthur, you never know when trails will change for whatever reason/
Moose, You are right about the snow. As I am typing this it is snowing.
