I was going to suggest going west of the Quabbin, but I guess that is out.

No real need to scout the Quabbin.....they are everywhere there. If you hunt Quabbin and come back empty handed, you didn't bring ammo for your gun.
Besides, If I remember correctly, you are placed in an area in which you must stay for the day......not much need to scout, just sit and wait.

Unless you are lucky enough to have the perfect spot you will leave human scent where you place your stand the first day. In other words, you don't want to go back. Most stands that are stolen are taken by angry landowners or dishonest fellow hunters.

I meant (I guess I even SAID) West of the Quabbin, as a general direction. I guess I could have said West of Route 31, which I think the state still uses as a dividing line. For that matter West of I-190 would work pretty well for you.
