talk to local wardens in area's you have interest, ask them questions on pressure in area's
as JUST scouting NOW and finding a place, doesn't mean come rifle or bow season them spots won';t be taken by other hunters
its maybe the #1 complaint from hunters, they find a good spot and show up to hunt it and so does a few others, if you follow!
so asking a local warden about pressures, can help you find places with lower chances of other hunters being there, or at least give you a heads up they might
its why many say, the farther from the read you go, the better hunting can be o n public lands, as most hunters don;'t walk that far from there vehicles!
