[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1067526, member: 33822"] I think using the CPW Atlas is a great resource for internet scouting. The places I have hunted are actually pretty accurately represented by the summer concentration areas. When I go to a new place I'll use that pink colored concentration area as a general area to focus scouting trips. It looks like you've got some promising areas to target in the majority of the bottom half of unit 13 and the entire eastern half of unit 12. I don't know anything about those units, but if you can find land within those summer concentration areas that are far from any roads and not accessible to ATV's or any other motorized vehicle, you've got a winner. It looks like hwy 80 runs right through the middle of the concentration area of unit 441 ... I would only try that unit if there is some kind of wilderness or primitive area... same for the conctration areas in unit 214... any wilderness or non-motorized areas? that is probably the best internet research you can do to find a good place to hunt: Non-motorized in the middle of a concentration area, and try and target 3-5 miles off the road. Lots of people will say you can do with much less distance away from a road, but I like more. After that there is no replacement for taking the time to scout the areas over the summer to figure out where you want to be on opening morning. [/QUOTE]
