I know how to read topo maps, what I need help with is what I'm really looking for to find bedding & travel routes.

Love these videos. Not nearly enough detailed information on this topic. Can’t wait for the next video. Map novices like myself need step by step instruction in this topic. My ideal learning experience would be as follows: Find a specific terrain feature on a map, let’s say a spur. Each feature could be a separate video. Switch to boots on the ground at the identified spot. Ideally get drone footage from above the feature. Then detail how you would set up and access the feature also using drone. Explain in detail how deer move on selected terrain feature. Just my personal wishlist. Keep churning out the great content!

Misspoke a bit in close contour lines, when they form circles they will only have hachure marks if they hold water without an inlet/outlet.

@MrJimbo12124 жыл бұрын
Great info...field video would be great as well..one frustrating thing with some "on line" topos in this region (PA) is that the traditional "paper" or hard copy topo's showed better composition variances i.e areas that have been stripped mined vs virgin ground where the on line or hunt map systems that are far more difficult to read strip mined areas ...this is coming from a guy that loves to hunt transition areas between virgin ground (typically good seed trees like acorns) with strip ground (typically strong thickets and bedding areas) I often times have to resort to checking "hard copy" or paper maps. Peace and have a great 4th!!
@chadsyl234 жыл бұрын
100% agree! We’ve hunted reclaimed AEP strip mined areas and the top is where either super inaccurate or hard to read. I’m not sure how to over come other than doing exactly what you said....revert to hard copies. Had a good 4th Jim! That transition video is coming too!

wondering aimlessly isn't the right approach. I was spoiled sitting in a box waiting for many years. Now I am out and about, and really didn't know how clueless I was up there these past few years. Speculation on population decrease with the GC in PA kinda put a damper on my expectations. They are out there... not as much as there used to be, but they are. One guy told me to understand topos and your vid opened my eyes. I'm getting older and if I can muster up my desire and stamina to climb those ridges I should be in good shape.

@calebstearns2505 ай бұрын
So I can find these features and funnels and combining features. But still very very limited sign. It seems like all the sign I find is near big ag. And I have big hard woods but it seems as if the deer don’t necessarily reach out into the middle of these big hardwoods they are only like 100-300 yards in for bedding purposes. Hitting ridge tops that are still relatively close to the ag for acorns. But never way out 2-3 miles in the woods. It seems like everything is always related to big ag or how they can get to it. Might be different for the rut but in my experience I can spend all day walking around bottoms and huge ridges and only find small rubs no scrapes and hardly any sign period
