Learning a topo map
I'm teaching myself how to read a topo map. I have circled a few spots that I think are saddles. If anyone could let me know if I'm right or wrong I would appreciate it. And any other pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Learning a topo map
Those are draws.. Saddles are low spots between high spots.. See your bottom circle..right on the left edge of your circle there are 2 oval circles..the area in between is a saddle.

Re: Learning a topo map
I'm currently read the book Mapping trophy bucks. The book has a lot of great knowledge in it. I am very interested in learning how to hunt using this technique. I used to be a bait hunter until I found this forum in mid October this year. I wish I would have found it awhile ago.

Re: Learning a topo map
The Red Xs are saddles. Where I marked 1 and 2 would be examples of higher ground. The X is the lower area in beween. The diagram on the bottom shows how a saddle would look from side view. Im not a topo master. There are guys on here that break em down far better then me, but hope I helped.

This is a shameless plug for dad's Hill country dvd. Get it for Christmas and it will make the offseason VERY exciting.
