Storm, I usually hunt with very little scouting. My properties are too far of a drive to scout much.
I run some cams at one farm, and had some nice bucks still around at the end of the season last year. Hopefully they're still around.
Last year, the corn was up VERY late in Illinois, and I would bet alot of the bruisers were hanging in there during a large part of the season.
I'm hoping there's gonna be some giants running around this year!!
