Hey All,
This is my first post and I'm interested in learning the "Beast Style", I just don't know where to start. I wanted to do a bit of scouting earlier in the season, but was unable. I'm trying to locate high-probability bedding, food areas, and travel paths in between the two.
Here are a few topo/satellite maps that I need help deciphering. This is an old coal strip mine that has a ton of landscape features, including ponds, some marsh, hills, points, and craters. I'm just unsure how to interpret them.
The prevailing wind is out the the WSW to the S during hunting season (at least that's what the closest weather station 20 miles away says).
This is a satellite photo of the land with 40' contour lines and fixed slope shading. The border in red is a close property line. It's broken in the middle to account for a road safety zone.
This is a Google Maps terrain map.
This is the 7.5 USGS Topo.
Thanks for any light people may shed.
Dave

Re: Lots of Acreage...Where Do I Start
My old eyes are having a hard time seeing these... But, I will give it a shot. On this one I marked it for beds based soley on elevation bedding tendency. I am not sure about cover, pressure, etc...
