What is "enough" spots for deer hunting?
Some info that's relevant: I'm in New Hampshire, so all of my hunting is woods hunting. I'm planning on mostly hunting out of the saddle, but some spots are good spots to sit on the ground (they're naturally elevated). I have a muzzleloader and a rifle, so in NH that means I'll get 11 days (Oct 31 - Nov 10) of muzzleloader hunting plus 27 days (Nov 11 - Dec 6) of rifle hunting. So a total of 38 days in my season. I plan to hunt almost daily, and I'd be pretty happy with 25 hunts in the season (some of them might be on the shorter side, but I'd rather be in the woods as much as possible). I will also be hunting from a tree. Either climbing it in my saddle or sitting at the base of it.
I'm only a few years into learning hunting. This will be my second year with rifle and my first year with muzzleloader hunting. Previously I was archery hunting, but I'll likely concentrate my allowable hunting time this year to muzzleloader and rifle. Every year I review lessons learned and what I want to do next season, and one of the big items in that list was doing a ton of scouting.
I've done quite a bit of winter and spring scouting. In the winter, I was finding deer tracks, and I found a handful of deer yards which was exciting. And I've been focusing my scouting lately on food sources. For NH woods, it seems like autumn food sources is primarily oak and beech. So I've become somewhat proficient out of identifying these trees and have found some really good oak and beech stands that I'm excite about.
That's a long-winded way to get to my question. At this point, I've got a list of 9 plots of land and 24 spots to sit across those pieces of land. Across all 24 spots I've noted the ideal winds. So whatever the wind is that day, I'll be able to narrow the list down to a few spots.
With that being said, I'm wondering if this is "enough" land and spots to hunt. I still have about 5 months left before the season so I want to use this time as best as I can. I have to spend quite a bit of time at the range still with the muzzleloader to experiment with different powders and bullets, but what else should I be doing in the deer woods? Continue to scout other plots of land and if they are better than any current spots I have on my list then have them replace?
I just don't want to end up with 20 plots of lands and 50 trees I could hunt from, and obviously I could never use them all in a single season. I'm new to this and wondering if there's a smarter approach for the remainder of the year than unnecessarily gathering even more land to hunt.
Thanks in advance!
