How many of you long time hunters that have been hunting in the same area for along time think scouting is crucial to your success? If I am hunting in my favorite area I don't see a reason to scout it out. I will only go out maybe two or three times and make sure the stand area is ok and the deer are pretty much still using the same travel routes. My entire family hunts and everyone has taken deer out of that spot several times including several nice bucks.
