I'm new to the area, too. I'm active duty military. My last station, scouted and scouted. My last weekend of bird hunting in 4 years and while filling up with gas, run into a bunch of guys going out. They felt sorry for me and invited me out. That was the best day of hunting I had the entire 4 years even though the hunting was sparse.
Well, I'd rather kill some birds than

for the next 3 years looking for a spot to hunt. Looking for any hospitality I can find out there. I'm a conscientious, ethical hunter with a couple dozen goose and a 4 dozen duck decoys, and a mess of steel shot that I need to burn up. Oh, and I can bring my guitar and sing Merle Haggard songs all night long.
