Knowing your land too well is not a bad thing. To see if anything has changed I usually wait until shed hunting to do my scouting. Some of the places that I hunt are very small and have 2-3 good stand locations that are good every year because of the terrain features. Every year after I go in there and hang my stands, my buddy asks, " did you see any rubs or sign?" I always tell him that I didn't look for any sign because I didn't want to disturb the area. I have found that in certain situations, less is more. It is kind of hard because I like to see sign as much as the next guy, but I've found that I see more deer if I let it be until during the rut and start hunting it. No sense messing it up.
