Interesting topo feature.

This is zoomed in. Looks like a tiny hill top inside a draw. Never seen anything like this. Have you? I will find out later today when I put boots on the ground.

I hunt some similar spots.

Contours are 20’ in OnX so it could be gradual or steep. No way to know until you put boots on the ground. They can be dynamite during the rut if it’s steep enough to funnel the deer to the inside.

I killed a doe yesterday about 100 yards from that feature and there wasn’t anything that stuck out like it shows on the contour map. So I dunno??

With 20’ contours it is difficult to tell without putting boots on the ground. Most of the time I see them as gradual inclines but I’ve seen a few steep ones. The steep ones can be gold if they are in the right place.

Congratulations on the doe for the freezer.
