I didn't know you were suppose to stop scouting. LOL Got to keep track of all these that made it through hunting and another winter...
Seriously, we do scout all year. We scout out new areas and the old areas when we shed hunt. The sheds tell us what bucks made it through winter and what areas to watch during the summer. We find out what crops are planted in the area that will give us insight to where the deer will be feeding through hunting season till they drop their sheds in the winter. Long range scouting ( binocs and driving the roads ) during late summer . Scout during hunting to keep up with the changes the deer go through with prerut, rut and post rut. Paying attention to their food sources in the fall and winter. Scouting never ends for us.
