    Yes it will, I personally use On X Hunt but it is awesome when you can fly over where you want to hunt first.

    I have been using it for a few years to scout both public and private land. It is an excellent tool.

    A topo map and a tape measure that is how we used to scout, not saying progress is bad but it has been done long before it was made easy.

    I’ve used it several times for scouting and stand placement without even setting foot in the woods. I’ve also used google earth on my phone on two occasions when I got turned around in the dark for morning hunts. I popped up the satellite image on my phone and was able to get myself back on track to my stand location.
