Posting aerial maps with questions
I'm not against people or bashing people for posting aerials of the properties they are hunting. I think it's cool you like to get opinions from others and I know there's a number of people who like giving their advice but wouldn't you feel better knowing you came up with your own plan and did it all by yourself? That's one thing I love about it is figuring them out myself. Makes it that much more satisfying when you get it done. Just a thought.

Re: Posting aerial maps with questions
It's kind of a bad idea in some locations to post an aerial of public due to the number of Beasts in the area (my area for instance ).
If a guy has no clue where to start he can sure flatten the learning curve by getting some advice. I think some might just want validation that they are looking at a the correct spots.

Yup I also agree about the public land stuff. I think that's a horrible idea for some of my areas as well.
Good point about validation.

Re: Posting aerial maps with questions
Honestly I absolutely love seeing the comments from some of the beasts on here when they give advice on aerials. It gives me ideas of how I would apply it to the areas I hunt here in Ontario and sometimes opens my eyes to spots I'd maybe look past.

Re: Posting aerial maps with questions
Im a fan of guys posting maps too. I like to pick the spots I would hit then see what the big guns do.. I also get alot of ideas from them. Sometimes answers are pretty quick and vague n cater towards bedding... Im a cyber scouting junky n enjoy breaking em down further.

Hate the public aerials. I try to snub em out and keep the conversation personal if I can. Example from this year.

Re: Posting aerial maps with questions
Ya, I was reminded of the perils of posting pics by a beast not too long ago. I had been WAY too specific in my description, and included WAY too many identifiable landmarks. Though there are not a lot of beasts in my area, there is a VERY active public land hunter population here that is on many other sites that could come across these posts. I will either narrow the picture coverage or stick to verbal descriptions of my areas without including any info regarding specific location.

Re: Posting aerial maps with questions
I like aerials for the most part. I enjoy the posts where the OP shows what he's found during scouting/hunting and is asking for extra input. I like to compare my own thoughts and experiences.
I dislike the strictly "where do I go" posts

I think most of the guys here who post maps don't do it to get free info... They do it to learn how others look at property and to help themselves become better. No better teacher than looking at what someone describes on a map then going out and walking the land while reading the map, and seeing for yourself what others see on your property.

What Dan said is precisely why I do it. I've been fortunate to have some above average success in deer hunting but many if not most of you on here are light years ahead of me when it comes to reading maps and deer sign. I've been able to put myself in good situations to harvest mature bucks but some of it was luck, most of it was learning from tons of mistakes and a little of it was me being a good Hunter. I absolutely love the feedback here in order to see what others see and how they'd hunt or scout the particular area.

So.... How am I supposed to teach myself something I don't know?
I am NOT a proponent of posting blank maps without at least taking a first stab at it, but "figuring it out on my own" was what I did before and didn't get me the outcomes I wanted.
