Ninehorses, we were down there last year late in January and got lucky and got a fresh snow the one night. We spent most of the next morning driving and walking around checking for tracks. It was very eye opening as far as how many we found and how they seemed to really congregate in certain types of areas like the cedar thickets, and the edges of the timber/crp ground. A couple years ago after our first trip we also whipped ourselves up some low to the ground calling chairs. They have a back and keep us about 4 inches up off the ground...very comforable and you can pop them up anywhere in any kind of cover and sit forever! Almost as good as the recliner at home! (I've fell asleep once or twice on warm afternoons) Guess were on the right track there!
Every trip we take we get a little more familuar with the area and find some good sets and rule out some bad ones for next time. Hopefully this trip is the trip.
