[@andresetc]

AWESOME TONY !!! Million thanks !

[@mikebatz200]

great video, lots of information, thank you for sharing.

[@Larry342516]

You are right Tony. You got to get out and scout around before season opens. And I agree the weather has really been humid and hot with lots of mosquitoes. Appreciate the videos. Stay cool when you can.

Check near by air field landing strips for prevailing winds. Also, I hunt in similar areas of the south, and prefer the east side set up, for morning sun and that an east wind is rare as it relates to changing wind patterns (like cold fronts). If possible I prefer to set up in shallow wet areas where my falling scent is dispersed in the water. Good hunting.

you are right!

[@billythesunbeltsamurainapi3670]

ticks are the worst I just wear no see um camoflauge in addition to a thermacell. and man scouting can be difficult. but rewarding. idk where you hunt but I hunt in nc Florida around putnam county

Google maps are about 5years old.

[@Larry342516]

I believe this video was 2015 hunting season, and I got to ask if you got your deer? Thanks Tony.

[@HuntFloridaTV]

Yes, I got a 172-pound 4.5 year old 8 point!

[@billclinton6629]

How often do you see big buck rubs (3 or 4inch trees)? Thanks for the videos ...

[@HuntFloridaTV]

Most any buck will rub a small diameter tree, but mostly big bucks will rub larger diameter trees.

I have deer hunted for 60 years, but I have never hunted here in Florida. too many snakes, mosquitos, and chiggers. I go to the mountains where there is snow and cold temperatures........I haven't been snake bit yet. unlike my neighbor.

I am changing the name of my channel to Hot Farter TV, after hearing this intro!!!!

[@TonyYoungOutdoors]

LOL!

[@therandomavsfan2473]

I have a question would a gametrail that goes across a highway would that be a good trail to hunt or not im new to deer hunting and need some advice :)

[@HuntFloridaTV]

Yes, it would be, but you'd need to make sure you are far enough off the road.

[@Rodrigues680]

can we do that in public land

[@HuntFloridaTV]

+Yeral Rodriguez Yes, you can. Most public hunting areas have recreational access allowed every day during daylight hours, and scouting would fit into that category. BUT, you can't hang your stand until the day before hunting season comes in.

[@leowaldron7260]

Lots of good tips to bed FWC lets dog hunters in green swamp before archery season really screws up makes no sense to scout FWC dropped the ball on this one

[@juannjenn23]

Is that private land?

[@HuntFloridaTV]

Don Juan yes, our little farm

[@NoOne-qs8tv]

How do you know this is a game trail and not something made by humans?

[@TonyYoungOutdoors]

it was small private land tract, so i was pretty confident
