Well since you started a new thread I will give my input.
I use two things, a pocket sized notebook and trail cam intel from the prior years.
The notebook allows me to document sign on the fly, location, time, date, temps, moon, elevation, everything. There are some nice ones out there that are "write in the rain". Literally soaked you can put ink down. This is what I use. You can also leave yourself little hints and tricks you tend to overlook throughout the season to help keep yourself fresh and advancing instead of getting into the mid season slump.
Trail cams. The thorn in my side. Nothing can be more frustrating than trail cams. Usually by the time you hunt that area, the buck you saw on that last card pull has moved on. So, you move in, set up, hunt, hunt, hunt, to no avail. Easy fix. HUNT LAST YEARS INTEL! I go back into the thousands of pictures I have sorted in my computer by which buck is which and look at dates, times, weather, etc. and make my move. I cannot tell you how many times I've been set up 200 yards away from where I should be because the deer made a slight shift!
Just using these two things will greatly increase your odds.
