I agree with what has been said above. I never really took post season scouting seriously until this year, and it's already paying off. There's no subsitute for leg work. Get on the ground now (preferably after a snow fall), find major food sources, travel routes, mark bedding areas, etc. It's good to keep a journal of your findings along with markings on a topo/arial map. If you scout enough, you will start to see a "blueprint" of sorts detailing deer movement/patterns. Here is a link to my scouting thread I started this year, as it should give you an idea of the process I'm going through with post season scouting.
