Here is my take on it...If you did your scouting after the last season then you will know what is in the area you hunt. To me that is the most important scouting time is right after the season. That's when I make all my stand moves for the up coming season. I will place camera's out the 1st of July and check them every 2 weeks or so but stay clear of your hunting area as much as possible...they are there...

I don't go looking. I've been hunting the same two farms for several years now and I have seen excellent stand locations turn completely around due to hanging stands in the same spot/checking trail cams/riding around on a 4 wheeler, etc. This year I'm not even putting the cameras out. No one (who's not trespassing) has been on those ridges since I took stands down in January. I want to see if it makes a difference.
In a different situation...on a lease, on public land, etc., I'd be a lot more aggressive.

In times past, I've watched fields from afar. Then usually I'll go in a couple weeks before season and mark a couple of spots and slip back out.

I plan to do a little scouting during squirrel season.
Do ya'll take extra care to be scent free while squirrel hunting to limit intrusion and impact on local bucks?

NO WAY!I dont go near any of my stands until its killing time!There is no sense in alerting the deer just to maybe get a look at them!
