Well your getting a little bit of a late start with the season opening Wednesday.Don't know these places but I'm in the same boat. Are these all state forests or are a couple WMA?

Down load google earth and start looking for some nice ridges you can toggle back and forth from google maps to look at a topo. Also look for area's of the state forest that connect to farmer fields. It can be a real asset to find fields that are going to be plowed or have manure spread on them .Don't be afraid to knock on a door or to and see if they will let you hunt the edge.

Take a drive today and check out a few of the choice area's and go for a quick scout at each location might want to do it toward sunset so you can see if you can roost a bird. Tomorrow morning get up early and find an area that you can hear a long way and listen for birds don't call use a owl hoot or crow call and see if you can shock a bird might want to do the same thing in the afternoon.
