Default RE: doing some long distance scouting

I think its clear he is asking if anyone " scouts" from the road. Like driving past fields and woods looking for deer.
Good job Rack Attack, I was hoping someone before I posted had realized what was being asked.

I do a lot of long distance scouting before the season, heck last year I went to one piece of property just to scope out the fields at night with one of my daughters, I came through this fencerow entering one of the fields and this yearling went whacko when my head lights/spot light blinded it (It is legal in Va. with no weapon in the vehicle), I came to a full stop and she still darn near run into the front of the truck before finally taking off down into the woods.

I prefer to find a high point near a likely crossing area and sit down with binoculars and check out exactly where they cross and when. What this does is allow me to not have to scout an entire area up close and personal, instead I come back mid day and scout out the areas they entered and exited the field and find travel corridors, mast and bedding areas.
