Someone mentioned county hunting grounds, which is relatively new to me, but it has worked with great success the last couple times out. I've had a hard time finding them but they do exist.

A last ditch effort usually involves finding the local hiking/biking trail and walking my bike into the woods there at 9 pm and leaving by 7am.
