The Michigan Upper Peninsula looks very good, in that there are National Park forests there*, with plenty of wildlife, and it's over seven hours drive from the FBI field office in Detroit that is responsible for it.
Remote areas of Maine are about that long from the Boston field office of the FBI and I'm sure there are areas with lots of wildlife.
What are good areas of the UP or Maine for a sleepy community where pretty much the only visitors are hunters, hikers, wildlife researchers or conservationists? A place with a small Sherrif's department with maybe four or five deputies, at least one logging mill where locals can work, at least one diner and maybe some place to stay for the nature-loving visitors?
For Maine, I was thinking something like
Aroostook County might do.
*I'd like an NPC that is either a part-time Park Ranger or something similar in a private capacity, i.e. maybe a contractor for wildlife researchers.
