Honey Hole bmp map...
Okay, I sorta have this bmp thing down, somewhat thanks to Buck Slayer. The unfortunate thing is I can't find a good site that zooms in very well to my area of the country.
Looking at the map above, this is my honey hole. I have the treestand locations marked in Red, the white marks are my walk in paths. I can hunt the hole area in deep red as well as the area in baby blue. The baby blue is my family farm. The green is soybean, the yellow is corn this year. The flourescent green is my food plot. The area north west of my food plot is a thick bedding area. There are other bedding areas throughout the family farm as well as the bigger woods. The food plot is in a well used funnel between the two woodlots. This has treated me very well. I've killed bucks from all three treestand locations. The field north of my stands is also beans. The property north of this goes from a recreation area into a christmas tree farm. I've narrowed these stand sites from 25 years of hunting this property. There are few other "great" choices.
To give you scale, the family farm in baby blue is 44 acres.
To give some insight.
Here's a picture of the first stand that is hung over the food plot:
And looking out from the food plot stand looking west toward the other stand:
This is from the west stand looking west toward the corn fields to the west and from this stand I shot last years buck:
Same stand looking south east toward the food plot stand, from last year:
My buck last year came out under the food plot stand and I called him down that path to this stand.
Here's a shot from the nothern most stand looking toward the recreation area looking north, took my best buck from this stand.

RE: Honey Hole bmp map...
blood, mobow asked me the same thing. I downloaded it hoping but it sucks just for my area. Apparently my area of PA isn't updated.[:'(] I checked out GMMATs where I hunted with him and told him I could practically see his hot tub at his house...in my area, you can't even see what a house is, it doesn't focus at all..[&:]
