They are good, but not perfect. Play the wind, stay out of sight, and they can be had.
Yes, preseason scouting can certainly screw stuff up. Two seasons ago in Wyoming, a gentleman stopped by our camp with the observation that he had covered near 100 square miles on his 4-wheeler 2 days preseason and seen around 60 or 70 elk. He was 9 days into the season and couldn't come up with one. Even owned up that he had been well behind the road closure barriers.
