Just from limited observations, PDs love the sun & low wind.
Some of the guys that have local areas, have reported cold doesn't really affect them but I would have a hard time spending the time and expense, taking a chance on winter shooting as I have to drive at least 700 miles to get to them.
If you don't have any place to go, or know someone in the locale, a paid guide or shooting priviledge, is a lot more productive than trying to find some place 'on the fly' as you will spend a lot of time trying to gain permissions.
Where we have been going, we pay $25 per night for excellent lodging and access to about 75,000 acres, but no food or guide so we still have to find the towns, but that property is secret, as will be most of the locations that people regularly shoot.
I know of an outfitter in Montana that charges $150 per day for Lodging, Food, and guide/transportation services and will probably be trying there next year.
Not to sound unfriendly, but good shooting locations are getting fairly scarce, so most keep their location pretty tight.
PS... Welcome to the board, if you search some of the archives, you will find a lot of information on a variety of subjects and maybe get some good ideas about starting out. If you list your location in you personal information, you might find someone close to you to help get you started.
