Ryan Rothstein: Time to get to know your local bucks

The use of trail cameras is just one way deer hunters can right now begin to scout for the bucks in their neighborhoods. Another option: Go for evening drives. Information gained now will help you begin to make plans for when mid-September arrives. (Photo courtesy of Ryan Rothstein)

I don’t normally start becoming antsy about getting trail cameras out quite yet, but with the number of local bucks that made it through last season, I’ve been itching more than normal to see what’s out there.
Full disclosure: I have a few cameras set up broadly to cover ground and see what’s around. Typically, I wait until at least Aug. 1 for that, but there’s nothing wrong with getting some early intel. 
And anyway, with Minnesota having a mid-September archery opener, it’s good to gather as much pre-season information as possible if you’re looking to punch your buck tag early.
