Partsjay, get out there if you can and look around. My time scouting varies though. On some of the parcels that i have been hunting for a while and know well, i dont scout all that often, but rather just go and see if the deer are acting like the have in the past. New areas are a different story though, i try to find the best area as soon as i can to set up a stand, then try to leave the area alone before the season starts so the deer dont get spooked.
