Hi Niall

I see you are a fairly new to the forum, and you are probably a fairly new hunter as well. Hey, we were all there.

Sounds like S Rupp has a good handle on the area (I don't), and he is willing to help out. Contacting him would be a good idea.

If I may, not meaning to insult you, I will simply add that when someone asks for what area to hunt, it is usually because of a lack of fundamental hunting knowledge. Almost every time someone finds out about my hunting success (which is actually pretty good) the first and most important question seems to be "where did you get him". As if that is the key. It's not.

So, here is what I suggest for you to do. Yes, go ahead and contact Srupp if you will. But when it comes to hunting a new area, this is what I do. Use google earth to study the area BEFORE you start your hunt. You can get a good idea of access (roads, rivers, private land etc.) In addition, depending on the game you wish to hunt, you can also study the terrain for structure, vegetation, elevation, cover/bedding etc.

To learn about your game's habits and necessities, read up and learn about the animal you wish to hunt. Example, what they feed on, what cover they need/prefer, best time of day to hunt, what elevation they can found, what time they rut, etc. All you can. By doing these basic things first before you venture on your hunt, your chances of success should improve significantly. Of course, there's a lot more to learning about hunting than this, but this is a good start for any hunter.

Hope that helps!
