I need some pointers for scouting, myself, dad and brother have Central Utah deer tags and have been scouting all summer long several different places mainly in the Heber/Midway area (my dad grew up hunting there and wants to continue hunting up there)anyway we scouted several spots through out summer and fall and have seen alot of smaller bucks and a few decent bucks through all of our trips, through out all of our scouting we have rarely seen anyone else up there and were excited because we thought that chances were big that we would all tag out on some decent bucks (me and my brother, my dad really doesn't care to shoot anymore deer in his life unless its a monster). So we get up there in the dark Saturday morning to see one other truck parked at the "trail head" and start hiking the 2.5 mile hike well the sun comes up and bam orange everywere and a few 2 points, spikes, does and fawns none of the deer we scouted through out the year, so we sat for a bit then decided that with all the pumpkins up there we would go to one of our other spots we get over there (shooting a coyote on the way)and hike to see a couple foot prints in the snow but no deer, this once again was a spot we had scouted through out the summer. We went back up yesterday (monday) to the same 2 spots saw a couple does, a 2 point and a spike (nothing close to what we saw in the late summer), that we prefered all live to get a bit bigger, and a couple gut piles. So my question to all you veteran scouters/hunters, what are your scouting methods and what would you recommend we do now?(for the remainder of the season
