Your friends son will really enjoy this hunt, we hunted J12 last year, give me your email and I will give you the info on what I learned we did a lot of scouting and talked to some knowledgeable locals not a huge area but you will see lots of deer.
I wish I had this hunt. I have had multiple friends with kids who have had it and killed great bucks (one friend's daughter got it twice and killed a 28" and a 30"). If you have any hunting prowess at all you will not have a problem.Sorry but all I know about specifics is the south side of McGee Mt(sp?).
