    I am not familiar with hunting 7-4, but have driven through that area lots over the years. I know there are a number of FSR's in that area as you see the signs where the forestry roads head off from the highway. Lots of people use the Backcountry Maps book and the maps associated with that book can be ordered. Personally I think they are not all that great and I usually order maps from one of the big map outfits that are easily found by querying on Google. I much prefer a good topo map. They are not always completely up to date with the resource roads, but nothing keeps up with the changes that can occur year to year as they add more roads. Kind of old school for some, but I like them as you can see elevation and swamps, etc.
    Everyone is entitled to voicing an opinion, as long as it is a learned one.

    The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who are bereft of that gift.

    I've never hunted 7-04 so can't comment on the area but its a great place to stretch the legs on that 1290 adventure to get a lay of the land!

    Good luck to you and your Dad.

    Hopefully someone can give you some ideas on where to start. I find the backroads map books pretty good, sometimes they show non existent roads or trails in the wrong spot but if you have them on a gps/ phone app you can figure the roads out as you go much easier.

    What’s so hard to understand about the definition of calf? You’re allowed to shoot spike for bulls under GOS, your dad can too, or he can shoot a cow, or a calf…
    Think, don't just have thoughts.
