Default Opinions: Is "Scouting"...."Hunting"

I haven't really thought of this, until now. The land I hunt (for the most part) abuts a county parks system that doesn't allow "hunting". The deer I hunt (and the turkeys) utilize this land for bedding and also MUST consider it a safe-haven.

Am I "Hunting" if I take my climber in there and "Scout"?

NO weapon........but I'll be camo'd from head to toe. Am I doing ANYTHING that the average nature lover isn't doing.....other than the vantage point I choose to take?

I will likely check in with my GW before I do this......but the information I "could" gather WOULD be important to me.

Would I be doing ANYTHING wrong? Unethical? People walk through this park all the time (though, admittedly.....NOT through the areas I'm considering).
