The area I hunt now I share with 3 other guys(all family), and we kind of keep to our own areas within the property, so that limits me to a small degree. Most of my scouting is done by memory of previous deer sightings and what I see while walking/shed hunting after season ends. When I walk upon a well used trail or intersection, I start wondering where are they coming from, where are they going, and WHY.

I usually keep in mind what the other guys on the property do, and where their stands are, and sometimes adjust accordingly.

I don't use cameras(might someday) I do more reading the terrain than anything.

When hunting new areas, sometimes my hunting and scouting will be done simultaneously, and in that case I start hunting the edges and will move in closer based on things I see from stand. The good ol' 'observation' stand.
