“Scouting From Scratch” - with James Doumtsis

Episode 23 | Released: 9th June 2025

Welcome back to the Twin Elements Podcast.

In todays episode we give you our rundown of things to consider and begin to implement when you access a new property and start the scouting process from scratch.

Knowing where to start can be difficult if its a new region or new species of animal that you intend to hunt.

By creating a consistent and thorough scouting plan and utilising boots on the ground, property owners and even pre scouting we hope to help you fasten the learning curve and get you closer to the animals you want to hunt. Whether you’re a feral pig hunter, want to hunt goats or deer theres something in this episode for everyone. Have a question for us? Send us an email at [e-mail] with subject line “FAQ”.
