According to the Auditor's website, that field is private property, if I am looking at the same place.
I was also looking at heading back towards the beaver pond on the NW boundary of the map. It's a half mile walk in off the road, but there appears to be a trail there. Maybe go back there and set up 200y west of the pond.
I really have no clue what I am doing with these maps. The area that seems to catch my eye is around the pioneer cemetery. Which would be the 800 mark west of the word state.
Jesse, if you're looking at the field I think you are looking at, it is private property. Do you see a different field than what I am seeing?
HAHA. Hence the reason I wanted to save the nitty gritty for when we are all standing around the camp! LOL

I am not sure about any open fields except for the one just past the campground on the right and its in the bottom across from a huge pile of old wood. I can speak for what I know about Strouds, if you are hunting over an open field(except the campground)it is most likely private. Unless by field you mean 20 ft bare spot as there are some of those around.. but not many. If you drive up and around the campground road you will see a red gate and a large open field, I think you might mean coming in from the campground to get into this field. That field and around it are private, he leases to some boys from Louisana. Oh, I forgot. There is an area thats an overgrown field where the old shooting range is right next to the road but it is in the bottom as well.

I dunno if anyone else is making copies of the map, but I'll print off a handful here so we can a have a reference while in the woods.

IMO, that is one of the Top 3 spots I have identified. That one and the one on down the ridge...
A nice saddle between two drainage bottoms, at the head of two finger ridges leading to the lake (that both have prominent south-facing slopes)... AND I'd bet there's a nice bench trail running parallel to the ridgetop, which is also directly downwind of that large bottom to the WNW. Seems like an obvious buck travel corridor to me, just based on the map alone. But it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong. A lot of so-called "obvious" honeyholes turn out to be completely void of deer sign when you put the boot leather to the ground. A lot of the best spots don't show up at all on a map...
Oh yeah that's what I saw too...... :smiley_confused_vra rotflmao I am so low tech it's scarey!!!!!

Yep.. One place I want to look is that T is "State" Short paddle across the lake and looks to be very isolated from roads. We can use rex's the john boat too retrieve deer.

Here's some more reasoning behind it... lol... Notice all the pines...

Here's another spot that's got my attention, just east of Beener's choice. I have a special place in my heart for a hot creek crossing during the rut, and I think there's gotta be one somewhere here that's dynamite...
Fugg... I really wish I could make this trip... :smiley_boos:
Jim your second choice east of Beener I also caught my eye. I have decided to bring two setups one for me and one for austin. I thought this would be a cool opportunity for austin to do some solo sits for the first time. I would however like to be setup within eye shot if not a hundred or so yards from him.
That is a lot of fun Steve. My father and I use to do that all the time! You could cover more ground, see each other, and hunt on your own all at the same time. We still do it on occasion.
