There is never a bad time to scout, just that different times of year require different kinds of scouting. Summer time is great for watching fields and running trail cams.

There is a great tool available for deer hunters and it can be used for scouting as well as hunting. The Non-Typical Whitetail Journal from Step Ahead Outdoor Solutions is an unbelievable asset for anyone that wants to learn as much as possible from your scouting and hunting trips, as well as your trail cam observations.

If you check it out now they are running a FREE TRIAL of the journal. It has a ton of really helpful features, including some really great mapping tools.
