One thing I'll never be accused of is not telling it like it is, LOL!!! I think you will do fine in unit 27, but take plenty of extra gas, water, and a couple sets of tire chains along so you don't have to go out of the unit unless it's an emergency because there are no towns closeby. Once you get off the blacktop and gravel roads out there they get real bad quickly with just a little moisture to the point where you can't go anywhere without chains. I saw some real nice bucks in the Red Hills area I mentioned two years ago, but the guy I was helping missed two big ones the first morning and got so upset that he shot a little 10" one at a water hole that night and went home the next morning! Incidentally, I would skip the first 4 or 5 days of the season if you have a choice and let the NR crowd head for home. Generally all the NRs go for the openers and are gone by the end of the first week and it's a much more enjoyable hunt after that. There are plenty of animals and you just need to walk and get off the roads to find them. The terrain is excellent to slip up on high spots to peek over and look over the land. I can't emphasize enough to have good binoculars, as well as a spotting scope if you are trying for a real good buck. Also, have a bipod, tripod or some good rest like a backpack to take good steady shots off of.
