Think of it as a camping trip. You said it in your first post. All the country looks the same, all of it looks good. The deer can be anywhere. It's really big country. Alot of folks that go in may not see a deer, even on a good year when the deer population is up. They are spread out. Pick a spot you'd like to go. Have fun. Remember the country is way bigger than what it looks like on google earth.
This. I ran head on into this realization this year. It was a real eye opener to see what 5 miles across rugged terrain really looked like. Don't get in over your head.
