Good discussion. For me it would depend on how many other options were available given wind direction, recent signandproperty constraints.

If I had other options, that I could utilize with minimal effort (noise, scent etc) I would use them to 'rest' the original spot. Possibly taking a doe before moving on. This is where Jan/Feb/Mar scouting effort pays dividends with multiple options. Best case scenario.

If I didn't have other options and/or the sign washot (freshened scrapes, rubs), I would still not in-season scout. The bucks will eventually come to the does and I would hunt repetitively to be there.

If I stopped seeing deer, I would in-season scout to find out why. Worst case option.
