Hello rokslide!
FNG from PA here heading out for our first Idaho diy backpack hunt in a few weeks. Were going to be in camp a good 2 days before the opening of the season and it will be our only chance to scout out the area. GE and bing maps will only take you so far obviously but it has narrowed down some spots of interest for us, but we would like to make the best use of boots on the ground before we are on the actual hunt. That being said here is our scenario. We'll be setting up camp near some high basins with thick cover, basins drop down into deep long drainages with more open ridge tops. Should we get high and glass for 2 days or not be afraid to get into the dark timber?
