I am in Jacksonville Fl and have a quota hunt for a WMA nearby. I took my 7 year old daughter out with me (just to walk the main paths and see what was moving) and was sadly disappointed when we couldn't drive on the WMA, probably to keep poachers out. Anyway, I have seen ariels and topos of the land, but could not get anywhere up near where I wanted to see on foot. I did see some signs, and was showing my girl how to spot deer paths...and spooked one out. So it was a good day in that I got her in the woods and she saw some real nature...but I was about 5 miles short of where I want to set upshop.
Question, how do you know where to set up shop without ever seeing the area? Not only that, I have the second week quota...so there is a good chance if I found"the" spot, it would bespoiled by the time my turn came.
Regardless, I am very happy my daughter has some real experiences to share...she saw armadillos, identified deer/hog marks (even saw two white flags outside of the hunting spot).
