Call the biologists in the areas you are wanting to hunt. They can usually point you in the right direction.
I would like to advise you but i dont know anything about the units in your vicinity. Good Luck.
You will love to hunt that area....just find the steepest canyon you can find and head down hill ....holds alot of game ... especially deer & beer .... if you are lucky enough to get something you will love the pack back up ...
Try starting out as close to home as possible. You might find little spots that are so close in to civilization that they get overlooked, people drive right on by on the way to better hunting grounds further out. If you can find an area that has a few deer, maybe not a lot, but that doesn't get any hunting pressure, and is within a 30 minute drive of your house, that might be better than a location that's a 2 hour drive where there may be more deer,but is also may get hunted hard from September 1st to December 31st. Look for the spots that aren't so obvious and learn them well.
