New camp question for the experts

[AggieDirtMover]

Question: I am going to check out a new place this weekend and has never been dug. The property is situated north of San Antonio but is at least two miles from the river. Now I am told there are two springs on the property. My thought is if there are springs there should be at least one camp. Is this a correct assumption or would it be too far from the river?

Good possibility! Flakes will tell! Good luck! All we hunt and dig here are mainly springs!

If you can find the Convergence of two creeks.On the high side.90% of camps will be situated at the fork,,,,atleast from what I have found,,,,and Charlie is Correct.When I look for flakes on a new site I call it "Looking for signs of Life"/////c

I'm no expert But out here springs with a nice hill top and a south facing slope equal points .

Booby if your not an "Expert,,,,then we are all in trouble///lol
No i would like to hear what you got Buddy.

I do not consider Myself an Expert,,,,Not "Lucky either,,,,Just Good.
I have found several camps just by following the creeks,,,Looking for "Signs of life/////c

I'd be curious to see how elevation and abundance of water affected campsite densities/disbursement. I live in an upland area with probably half a dozen 8-15 foot wide tributaries feeding a 30 foot wide river in my town alone (with dozens of perennial streams), and don't really know where to start. Do formulas like this generally work only in regions where water was scarce, or does water usually equal sites?

[Cluton]

I'm not lucky or good!! I ought to have my butt whooped for all the time a spend looking for these dang pointy rocks! lol and yes water usually equals sites!!! Whether it be an old spring, creek, river, or old draw that at one time held water!

No don't go to lying to these good folks Charlie.
You Are good,,,,a Good Ol boy/////c
