Ok, in an attempt to become a better LoL player, I'm looking for friendly advice as to how to better counter jungle. I've been playing 
Kha'Zix, Lee Sin, and Shaco lately.
As Lee Sin I find it pretty easy to counter jungle since he has amazing early game damage and a slippery champion with his Q and W. I try to catch them at Red buff and I can kill them before they use Smite on it, taking them out AND stealing their red. Next, counter jungling with Shaco is fun, able to deal tons of damage if the enemy is caught in the right position, and as Kha'Zix, I can't seem to counter jungle with properly, even though he is my main.
Any tips should help me, so please, tell me other places to ward their jungle besides red buff. Thanks again guys, looking forward to your advice!

Goodluck sir!
Lets see, my personal jungle or even counter jungle experience is probably on par with yours, but I tend to watch streams and youtube videos mostly on a daily basis, some of them are really incredible junglers and know how to counter jungle, when/where all that good stuff.

I agree, I love to counter jungle with
Kha'Zix has a relatively weak clear but he's an exceptional duelist. You can ward the enemy jungle (I like the brush separating wraith camp from mid lane), steal a camp, then kill him (if it's a weak duelist) when he comes to clear it. Warding the enemy jungle can also let you know if their jungler ever decides to clear a camp even when he's low on health. You can get free kills if they get careless like that.
My favorite counter-jungling wards are the curved brush going into their red buff, the brush separating their wraiths from mid lane and the curved brush going into their blue buff. Against mana-dependent junglers, it's really beneficial to take their first blue buff if you can. Against gank-heavy junglers, you'll probably want to steal red. Controlling blue buffs is also really effective against mana reliant mid lanes and can give your mid laner a pretty big advantage if you steal several blues in a row.
When you successfully steal an enemy buff camp, clear the whole thing if you want to steal it again in 5 minutes. You can enable chat timestamps and use a retreat ping on the buff to get the exact time (otherwise just look at the clock, add 5 minutes and type the spawn time in chat). If you want to contest an enemy buff right as it spawns or right as you notice the enemy jungler going to clear it, it's very helpful if you can get your nearby laners to come invade the jungle with you. Level one invades should generally involve your whole team.
