Haha yes that is exactly where I stopped for maps last week. They directed me to some good parking areas. After two days trying to hunt those steep hills I decided to bail on that terrain and found some public river bottoms. I am much more familiar with hunting this habitat. I found the lucky combination for me.............empty parking lot & long hike to isolated woodlot (2 miles) Had a great hunt on unpressured toms. They were henned up but on my second day the boss came in to kick my intruding tom decoy's a$$ after his 8 hens dispersed at 10 AM. Wow I never seen a tom so pissed off! Came in spitting. Great hunt.
