Anyone heading up to the Pittsburg, NH region this season? I think I will give it another go. I may buy some topo maps for the region with clearcuts marked. Has anyone used maps like these? Were they helpful?

Be sure to use an Amex. Amex gives an idiot warranty for 90 days - like "I lost it" or "I ran over it" or "it was stolen" - and then doubles the manufacturer's limited warranty.

Good hunting preserves ARE awesome. Bad ones are... bad. I have been to some where you don't really feel like you are preserve hunting. I have been to others where you see the guy carting out birds right before you go out, and he puts them in the same places every time... a "canned" hunt.
