Tommy,
It all depends on you and how you’re going to hunt this land. No real right answers. For instance, one of my best spots is in a funnel on a pretty small piece of property. There is no use scouting this area since I can’t hunt the beds, or the food sources. So I go in there once a year and maintain the permanent stand. Anymore than that would just risk leaving scent behind.
On the other hand, if this property is really big you definitely need to get in there and figure out a plan. You should know the trails, which way the wind is most likely going to be traveling and where you’re going to hunt and during what hours. Only way to do that is to go in there and see. But I’d try to go in when you know they won’t be there and I’d be as scent free as possible, just as if you were hunting. Try to gather as much info as you can so that you don’t need to go back.
I’d also recommend not simply picking a trail and sitting by it. Pick a place if one exists where trails come together, and for a good reason. Like the woods get narrow or something. Something that forces them to you with out them knowing it, a “funnel”.
Good luck,
KP
