I found a great article on scouting posted on another blog. I thought he did a great job on breaking down all the aspects behind finding that "honey hole" that we all long for. His recommendations include scouting during the down times within the hunting season, delve deep to find spot near refuges and other similar spots, and the ins and outs of the actual scouting. Check it out at Where, When and How to Find Your New Honey Hole. I think that you will be better off when trying to pin down that hot spot for years to come.

The beauty of finding the honey holes is that they tend to work year to year. Translation, once you find a spot you can go back to it for years to come. if you put in the legwork you can get a handful of places that allow you to bag ducks consistently.
