So Dan and others....here's two maps of my private land.
The red dots are where I have observed doe's bedding. There may be more but I haven't found them or observed them. Blue lines are rub and/or scrap lines. Blue dots are where I have found rubs as well but haven't mapped them out as to whether they are a trail or just random rubs. Green lines on first map are sheer cliffs. Yellow dot is where Dan and other said they would hunt a while back.
SO, which trails would classify as parallel trails? Are they only on the outter edges adjacent to bedding and/or feeding? In this case the one trail that skirts the clearcut and crosses the road then following the field, would be the parallel trail?
The second map where I have the one blue line running N to S, is in heavy cover. That's one large thicket with small openings here and there.
first map no marks so you can see the transition edges
first map with my marks
Second map...I've been thinking about hunting that strip of woods right by the road. It's pretty thick too and connects other wooded/thicket areas. I'm thinking those blue dots are also a parallel trail following that road and field.
