I personally think scouting during season causes more harm than good. I scout right after season goes out. I try to walk all over the property looking for sign. Deer are creatures of habit, they will do the same thing next year that they did this year. As far as trying to figure out where to hunt this year. Start off in a spot where you can see a lot of area. Then move closer as you spot deer. You find does and there will be bucks.
