I mostly hunt woods I know VERY well. Things don't change too much year to year. I scout enough to see what's going on, and where the deer seem to be congregating for that year. When finding new places, I've come to trying to scout smarter, rather than scouting often. Rescouting in mid season can be very important, because the deer's patterns can change. Assuming you know the general lay of the land already.....I'd trade a months worth of scouting in the summer, for an afternoon of scouting the day before I plan to hunt for a week.
