X12 help

[Foothills12]

First time drawing have done quite a bit of map research and google map searches. I have looked into areas around bodie, lobdell and topaz narrowed down. I am planning on going on a 4 day scouting trip in August. I plan on hiking so would not be opposed to backpacking options. If anyone could give me some suggestions or info please pm me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My advice is to stay well south or Topaz or you will be in the wrong zone.

Thanks for the tip BigPig. Topaz is within the boundary and the southern portion of Topaz Lake is also in X12. I am aware of the boundaries but thanks for your concern.

You are correct that Topaz is technically in the x12 zone, but that is all winter range for the most part. With the exception of some low numbers of resident deer, during the season there won't be much near Topaz. Unless there is an early big dump of snow. Nearest to Topaz, most of the deer would be at higher elevation in x8 during the season. The other two areas you mentioned will offer much better hunting.

Southern edge of the zone along X9A is good too. Lots of deer in the area.
