Very seldom. When I have done so, what I usually find is a gooey, chewed-up mess that raises more questions that it provides answers. Like DSMbirddog, I have a working knowledge of what deer like to eat and am generally hunting those sources when the rut isn't on. Browse doesn't really matter since deer travel around taking a bite of this and a nip of that and don't hang around vegetation much unless it's the only source in the area or some favorite that I already know about, like honeysuckle, and that goes right back to knowing what deer like to eat in the first place. This reminds me of the fly invented by outdoor humorist Ed Zern, "The Wretched Mess", which was always what he found when examining the contents of a trout's stomach. He was, as the Aussies say, "Spot On."
