First step is get a topo of that tract of forest.Study the topo so you understand the ground. When you think you know it well and how to best access it, then study that tract on Google Earth so you understand the ground better.Identify a handful of elevated locations that you can quietly reach in the dark. Be there a good 45-60 minutes before light to listen. If nothing happens, slip out and head to the next location you identified on your topo.25K acres is a good chunk of ground, but depending on vehicle access and pressure you can cover a significant part of it with a good plan of attack, which starts with studying the topo map.

They've revolutionized navigation and scouting, but nothing will ever replace getting out and burning boot leather.Finding their roost is going to be key. They like to roost in large mature trees and often over water. Because of this, in areas without much topography, they often roost in and around river bottoms. Feel free to shoot me a pm with a map (no worries on stealing spots as I have no plans of hunting in TX any time soon) and I'll try to point you to some likely looking areas.

San Augustine national forest in east Texas if you have google earth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
