Alright guys I need some help here or guidance.
I am back packing in Colorado about three and half miles from the nearest trail for the muzzleloader season and I will be at about 11,000 feet elevation and close the tree line. The question I have is how to pick the best camp site.
Given that I have never set foot in the area (trust me I tried but family had other plans) I am doing all my scouting using my GPS apps. The site I am looking at is a half mile away from nearest vantage point and according to internet there is a small body of water there as a water source but I don't know if it is flowing or even if it is still there.
Once on site I plan on setting up camp near the water using trees in the area as wind blocks/security.
Am I on the right track?
Am I too close to the area I will be hunting?
Any advice is much appreciated.
