Who all is planning on attending the scouting trip? What are people's thoughts on how to go about things?

I will be there with my GPS and would like to get started early (around 8) so we can cover a good bit of ground and get out of there at a decent hour. I have a few places I want to look and will have some maps for us to look at before striking out. My general plan of attack was to mark as many acceptable hunting locations as I could on my particular loop so that I could drop people off on the way to the stand, then mark those on a map.

Can we tentatively plan on meeting at the campground between 8-8:30 on Saturday morning for those that are going?

Jesse, I can't help that day with the JV football game that morning. If you want to mark some spots I may be able to help you fine tune some of them if I have ever been near that location before. Remember, I have hunted these hills around the campground and lake for 20 years...

I can't make it down but last I knew Dante was thinking about coming down for the scouting trip. Hope he chimes in and his plans haven't changed.

My plan, Show up for the hunt weekend and just go off maps and climb a tree somewhere. I don't care if I get anything or not as this will be the first time in years I have hunted another property then the ones I have with the exception of Fluteman letting me hunt his place last year. Can't see any less deer then I have the last week here lol.
