Since I usually hunt woods I am very familiar with, my time needed for scouting is not nearly the same as "new" woods. In unfamiliar woods, it may take me 2-3 days out of 8 to finally be comfortable with the area to hunt and strategies I have decided to use.

If you hunt the same woods over and over again, is a lot of scouting necessary?Also, if hunting new woods, how much time do you would you think need if hunting for a week (8days) in another state? Do you ever need to "re-scout" an area during mid-season?
