I can't resist summer scouting even though I know that come September things will start changing fast.

Chiggers. Ticks and skeeters Thick hot woods
No thanks until fall
Will see who is around out in the bean and alpha fields
Other than walking the field edges and around the ponds I’m done until cooler weather

Hunting season never ends for me, The actual killing part is very brief in comparison to all the other time spent.

Looks like you're getting paid while scouting! Perfect. And on a daily basis.

I started hunting smart a long time ago. I learn my area and where will be in the fall. I don't care where they are now.

Most all animals have routines that constantly change.
Probably area and locale has more to do with when to scout than anything.
Most of the areas i hunt if i waited till fall to scout, there simply wouldn't be enough time to thoroughly scout, unless you had a lot of free time.
In a bigwoods setting where the deer are frequenting one fall, may not be where they are the next. When i say bigwoods i'm not talking about The "big chunk" on the back 40...i'm talking continuous forest.
So i like to keep tabs on things year round.
An example of that is a gang i ran across driving for deer during firearm. The side they were on is usually pretty decent but for some reason last fall that whole side was devoid of deer or slim pickings at best. They kicked out only one small buck in about a 2 1/2 mile stretch.
I actually wasn't even hunting, i was on my way over the mt to the other side to get a treestand (where the deer were). I had already filled tags earlier.
I had discovered the deer where hanging the backside, and the mt across earlier in the year, long before fall...they had logged over there. Had i waited till fall, may have never had enough time to find that out.
