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.
Exactly! I have been hunting a peace of property sence 1996 And over the yrs I have noticed that the deer seem to always use or come close to using the same travel patterns, Bedding areas, Rub lines, Scrapes, ect..
I hardly ever go into any of my key spots other than to check or to place a stand a month or two before the season starts. I love going to a stand that I have hunted in the past seasons and having the confidence that there is going to be good action on a cool Oct or Nov morning
