IMHO right is one of the best times to scout. Deer may still be using the same trails in Sept. as they are now, it depends upon when the rut is for you before the rut they should be using the same trails ( at least the same food/watering areas ). You can also pick up sheds to see what deer made it through the season and how many bucks that property may hold next season. It' s also great for any late season hunting you may do next year. But you want to to take my opinion with a grain of salt as I think any time is a great time to scout. The more you know about deer in your area the better hunter you will be IMHO.
