How to In-Season Scout and Tag a Buck in 48 Hours

In this segment from our full interview with Clint Carter of Alabama, we break down how he uses in-season scouting to find hot sign and turn it into a quick opportunity to kill a buck—often within 24–48 hours. Clint explains his mindset for hunting public land, why waiting can cost you a deer, and how to tell the difference between old sign and truly killable sign. This conversation covers scouting with intention, reading fresh tracks, rubs, and scrapes, and adjusting on the fly during the rut. If you hunt Southern whitetails, especially in pine country or pressured public land, this approach will help you stop chasing old sign and start hunting what’s hot right now.
