One that hasn't been hunted hard and shot out to begin with. Then I'd look for a place that has a mixture of good bedding cover, as well as a decent variety of food sources so that you or the game are not dependent on one thing. Add a little water running through the property or a small pond and you're in business. As far as obtaining permission in this day and age when you locate something that looks good, have a fat wallet because even a nice landowner nowadays is looking for ways to pay his taxes and survive to keep that property in his familie's name. If you're lucky enough to find someone who lets you on for free or for helping them out on the place, consider yourself real lucky because times and the latter two have changed greatly over the 60 years of my hunting career.
