Dress for the temperature, and use lots of Deet, is about all I can suggest. I've always been a rifle hunter, so September during dove season has been a good time to get out and check blinds and look for trails.
You can find rubs once the velvet starts itching, when antler growth is underway. That's at least a clue. The higher in the branches, the bigger the rub-tree, generally, the bigger the buck.
Scrapes get made later on, I guess in Texas mostly in October...
