Anyone who has hunted trophy whitetail understands that the more you can pattern the deer in your area, the better your chances of success. This is something that should be done all year round.
January-March you should be looking for shed antlers and sign. Where are the deer during this cold season, what trails are they using, etc. Make sure to collect those shed, they are great trophies and it will help you to determine what bucks are still in the hunting pool for next year.
April-August you should be making extensive use of game cameras. What type really doesn't matter, but if you have the chance to utilize one which interfaces with a game management system, all the better.
September-December when you are not out hunting, you should be scouting. This means glassing, checking for sign, checking food sources, water sources, etc.
