The blue ares are HIGH % buck bedding areas.
Based on the convex and thermal hubs...the yellow is the hightest %'age area for mature buck bedding.
Im just trying to get a grasp on things alil better when looking at maps. These areas that are shaded in bright green on these pics, would this be the military creast?

Re: Topographical terms and descriptions
Killer thread! I am familiar with topos but wasn't ever familiar with the legit terms used to describe the features on them. this cleared that up and a whole lot more! some of that laying out of the map and how deer see/use the terrain to their advantage, and how it affects thermals was eye opening. After looking this over I think I need to listen to podcast 1 wind and thermals again. I think I may be able to take a lot more from it.

Re: Topographical terms and descriptions
UofL, yes, high edge, upper 1/3rd and military crest are all terms identifying pretty much the same area of a hill.
Edit, just realized that question was from a while ago...

Thats fine. I was learning then and still learning. But i have to ask to be sure im right. The military crest will vary from place to place at diffrent hieghts, so does bedding or travel vary with the crest as well???

Thanks
Based on the 2 convex hubs and the thermal hub...I would bet all I have that there are mature buck beds in the spots I have marked in yellow....I would have to walk this piece of land to know where I would set up and how I would enter it.
I wish Ninja was still around... but anyway... I have a question.
He explained this thermal hub very well but where he pointed out those yellow bedding areas inside that hub, would a buck bed in those areas on varying winds? Because of the converging ridges making swirling winds and thermals shifting in all directions? I got the impression from Ninja that is what he was implying. reason I ask, I have a hub just like this that I hunting. center converging area faces south but I get mostly westerly winds however my bucks I'm after I'm beginning to think bed on the southern face of the ridge in the center of the hub. so it wouldn't be leeward for a west wind but I am convinced they're bedded there.

Re: Topographical terms and descriptions
So what exactly does AN mean when he uses "HIGH" to describe crows foot. Is he referring to the steepness of the multiples slopes converging into the hub? High meaning more steep, closer together and faster dumping of scent through falling thermals?
