I don't know about anyone else, but when I scout, it is time to move. I try to be as minimally intrusive as possible and I rarely see deer. I'm focused on fresh sign rather than seeing animals. Scouting is an information gathering event. Sitting while hunting is a good idea. Sitting while scouting is (in my mind), a waste of my limited time. Your trail cams already did the sitting for you. Take that information and incorporate it into whatever else you can find while out.
I don't hunt the Eastside - mine is a Westside mentality. I don't worry about deer seeing me or knowing I was there. There are always people in the woods around here. The deer get over the intrusion pretty quickly if you don't act like a hunter. Take some granola and wear colorful beads. The deer will never know what you were up to.
