What are the brown spots in the terrain? I am slowly learning what the diferent things mean, but dont know what I am looking at here....?
Thanks ya buddy I knew you would pull through for me, you have been nothing but absolutely great with helping me out with this map!! Also If I could ask you one more question, of all the dots you put up does any of them stand out more then another to you and why?? I am just trying to get a good feel on what to look for more!!?? I will post the same map in a couple days with the spots that look good "TO ME" and hopefully you can critique me?!?
Ok here is another public land area just minutes outside of where we are staying that we may look into while we are out there. I went through and marked a few spots out in just one part of the land that I think if I am reading the map right, should be good?? The yellow dots are the spots and the ones circled in red are the ones that I think are potentially the "better" ones......... The etched ---- ---- ---- are the boundarie lines of the state forest that is why I all the spots picked are clustered together, but it is more land then the picture does it justice for..... Please take it easy on me, I am eager to see how bad I did on this....haha....
Also in this pic where I have the yellow line marked in, would'nt this be a draw/funnel??? it looks good to me, but what do I know..
Wow...I gotta give it to you guys that can look at these maps and pick out good spots! I am just staring at them kinda blanking out in my head!!
Thanks I figured I would throw that out and see how I graded? I was always under the assumption that you wanted to hunt draws/funnels? I am a little uncertain as to why not too...? I dont have a clue why or why not you would'nt?!? I think the way it looks we are going to spend the majority of our time on that first map of Sunday Creek that you picked the spots in! I am going to go through and pick some spots on the southern part of the land and run it by you and see what ya think!! Thanks!!
Awww I see what you are getting to now! I am just focused on looking for tight small draws with one entrance/exit where you are going with more open areas where the deer can come in from many different ways! I am now focused on "crows feet"!!
The area is pretty steep, and all formerly stripped, lots of deer, but you'll work to get them. Here are some spots that would look good to me, saddle and draws mostly.... http://mapper.acme.com/?ll=39.50950...xSW of Murray City OH&marker13=39.50950,-82.1 I sure hope that shortens, but there are some good spots in there, but you won't be hunting alone either!!! Good Luck!!!
Thanks OHBow~~ I am checking it out right now. I had a couple of them areas already picked out believe it or not, bu thtey are mostly right by the highway there! There a a few spots that are right outside of the boundarie line, but that just helps narrow some of your picks! I appreciate the help!!
Hey WMDH, There's no guarantee you'll hammer a big buck down there, but there ARE a lot of deer down there, and worst case scenario, you still oughta be able to bring something home for the freezer!!! But that's an area where there are definitely some good deer running.
