In November there may be a few of the bucks in pre-rut mode...I hunt Green Swamp East alot and in there there is 2 different rut times in there...the first bein late november/early december and the second rut which is the main one is late december into february...I believe green swamp west is similar...I think that buck that dropped his right side antler on me was an "early rut buck" seein as he dropped in early feb. so that buck would pry have been a late nov. early dec. rut time. I would keep this in mind while still focusing on feeding areas. as for scouting if you are quiet enough you can get within 50yds. of the deer I would just try to observe them n see what they do...this is actually how i stumbled upon the spot i hunted last time in there. i was walkin thru palmettos near a bayhead when a big doe jumped up n took off...i paused as she went runnin into the bayhead then i heard palmettos crunchin to my left in some thick cover...it was a BIG buck...i only caught a few glimpses of his rack goin thru thick cover along the bayhead...looked like he was either a big 8 or 10 point...possibly more with tines about 10-12 inches tall...n this all happend within 60 yds. of me... so keep an eye out for deer....might help ya out
