452b264 Report post Posted June 23, 2020 If you dont have a quality pair of binoculars that is the first place I would start. A pair of 10x42 / 12x50 / 15x56. I like to have a 10x42 or 8x42 around my neck and a pair of 15x56 for glassing but some people like to carry just a pair of 12x50. The most important is good glass combined with a tripod. Then glass just as the sun is coming up, you will need to get there long before then though and then again in the evening. Dont go back to camp at midday they will get up to feed, water, turn around or move to stay out of the sun. I would also look for drainage's that have water in them away from any road. Good luck!

There is tons of public land in Cleland National forest.. try to get some scouting time and be prepared to hike some tough terrain. Also get onx app so you know fore sure you haven't wondered on to private land.

jknister Report post Posted June 28, 2020 If you can, put out a couple trail cams. That will at least let you know what is in the area. Personally I avoid placing them on tanks as Im afraid of them being taken. I agree with 452b264 about having good binoculars. You said you had 10x50s but didnt mention the brand. For years I used Walmart binos and thought they were good enough. When I bought some Vortex it was like a whole new world. I saw so so many more deer.
