Phuck Maxwell!
Now that that's out of the way I'll throw in my .02
When I'm in a new town I go check out the local outdoor store. Usually the people behind the counter can give you some local hunting info(I've found the people in the archery department to be the most knowledgeable). Whether it be a lease or public land, those people usually know their $hit. Throw in the fact that you're military and they'll be more than willing to help, unless they're some sort of godless commie bastards.
