Go slow, try not to disturb the deer to much during your scouting. Look for main deer trails and find intersections. Also look for less traveled deer trails that parallel the main trails, those are the ones the bucks generally use. I would mow a few extra lawns and invest in a couple trail cams to set up when you find a trail that seems to be used by the larger bucks. If it is hot and dry, watch the waterholes, and any food sources in the morning and evening. Go online and get some satellite photos from google earth, then put boots to the dirt and explore spots that look good, such as thick cover away from main roads.
