I agree with Colin on this one.

Conservation sites and site of habitat restoration offer a great habitat that has very little human disturbance.

I also am a tin fan. Back home (Kansas) I made a few friends with some folks who had some acreage. I was allowed to lay tins and boards out where I was almost always sure to find something even on the slowest of herp trips.

I really miss herping back home in Kansas. There is a great diversity of herps in the state. The Flint Hills are amazing. And one can pull over on the side of the road and search thru a road cut if they please, great spots for red milks!
