Hey Zak been a long time

I Scout all year long the deer don't move too far from where they are now especially early season deer hunting, they will be right where they are all summer. It's not unitl the nights start cooling down that they start to change their patterns. Right now it is very important to know your hunting area like the back of your hand get into some of those spots you didn't want to disturbe during the season. Now if you spook deer they have plenty of time to work there way back. As you get closer to the season you want to scout real lightly as that is when you don't want to be bumping the deer out of there. Good Luck Mike
