Jeff, I have heard you talk about them before and their dynamic map reading skills ( I remember the important things)...so yes, I am listening and learning!

Brett:

I found this, yesterday. It's a map Gri22 did of my new hunting area....and he marked the trails he thought they'd be using.

It's simply freakin "uncanny"....... I mean.....It's awesome. There's one trail he picked out that's not even a trail, at all. It's the edge of a woodsline (that you wouldn't know by simpy seeing thetopo). That one still amazes me

Jeff...where is the map you are talking about in your latest post?! I am thirsty for knowledge these days. Been using my GPS for the first time in the dark. Walked a mile in the other day and came up within 30 yards of my intended stand sight...this topo/GPS thing is alot of fun!

edited..there is your map. Thank you.

So Jeff, based on those trail markings, how are you hunting? Are you looking for intersections of trails, the more the better?

i believe that is a "converging hub" "where it all comes together" (thats all i remember from "Mapping trophy bucks") deer use them pretty hard and regular to travel....

To be perfecty honest with you, Brett. It's pretty simple. You go to an area Gri22 has marked and "poof"....there's a visible trail.

If I'm lyin', I'm dyin.

Mapping Trophy Bucks
This is like the 10th time I have heard this book mentioned by well informed people...I am purchasing this book tomorrow and will be reading it on stand. I can't wait to get into the book.
