My problem with topo maps

I have no topography on the map. Everything I do has to be by Satellite pics, unless I am missing something major.

 

Red is the property lines anything inside of it I can hunt. The orange dots on the topo are stand and the blue dots are houses. The white dots are stands on the sat map, the ones with red dots have been stand that I have either killed a shooter buck or have seen a shooter buck in. The blue is my winter food plots and the green are my soybeans for the early season. The yellow is a corn field that borders the property. If you have any advice go at it lol.

 

not a single reply??

 

I agree! There you got a reply.:D

Seriousy, where it says On Top Of It Roofing, is there a fence around that property. It might be a good spot to sit by one of the corners if there is. Even if there isn't it looks like the vegetation changes at the property boundaries. Might be worth a look.

 

Actually by definition all land has topography. You have little CHANGE in topography. Essentially what this is saying your land is pretty flat. Therefore, you have no topographic funnels to work with on your property.

Looks like there is a swamp land in the north east corner of the property. Likely caused by soil conditions rather than the topography. Is that a bedding area?

 

JM, no fence there, and that is the one field that I can not hunt in the whole spot, but bucks do cross it frequently. It is basically my backyard, if I lose and arrow over the target, it goes into that field.

GFY, are you referring to the northwest corner of the property. There is no swamp and the northeast corner, and hardly one in the northwest, but yes there is a major doe bedding area back there in the northwest corner.

 

yes, sorry I ment the NW corner. I would think that would be a good bedding area. My guess would be to try and find some trails from the bedding area that you can get to without getting busted and try there.

 

I have, and the orange dots are on the outskirts of the trails, anything farther in is too thick to see, nothing but briers, pines, and reeds. It is a really good travel corridor for bucks in the rut, as they move through the trails in the morning bumping does. All of these pictures came from that stand I am talking about, rigth on the trails you suggested.
