Goes back to the ole big woods vs. farmland comparison. On a small piece of farmland with predictable travel routes, scouting is almost optional once you get the general lay of the land. But wouldn't you want to hunt shed antlers if you could?

In big woods on the other hand, you'd better be out every chance you can, year after year, because the deer movement is much more of a puzzle and can be altered by the sublest little thing.
