I put in two permits. Like I said, I just got lucky. I definitely wouldn't ask for someone's spot, I just don't want to waste my draw. If there are areas that I should avoid or a general area to check out that would be great. I know the game goes deep into the swamp during hunting season in GSE so I do most of my hunting there inside the cypress domes. It would make sense that they might be in the open more in the west because of less hunting pressure. That's the kind of advice I'm hoping for. Thanks FlaBoy.

I have been told that in GSE I should expect to walk a least a half mile from where I park before setting up my stand in order to have a chance at a deer or hog, is it the same in the west?
