Figured out how to post the map. Anyway, I am looking for advice on where you guys think might be good pinch points, buck beds, etc. on this state property. North is up, and winds are west and southwest. I haven't yet scouted it yet, but am excited to do it. It's a bow only area, with fairly light pressure, though there are hiking/biking trails here and there. Thanks!

Re: New Public Ground to Hunt
Do you have a topo you could post? It looks like it has potential.

My bad I always thought that kind of map was refereed to as terrain and and the maps that showed more detail were called topo I guess they really are the same thing, I was trying to bump it for him.

Thanks for the bump. It does have potential, but I can't scout it for a while. Just had shoulder surgery (due to archery injury in 2012). Hoping to hit it hard in the spring.

Re: New Public Ground to Hunt
I marked potential bedding with red dots, and a yellow dot where I think would be a good spot for rut cruising if pressure is low.

You are right. It is a terrain map. A terrain map is a 3D model of a topographic map. Generally speaking when somebody asks for a topo they are not talking about terrain map. For some people a terrain map is easier to read and understand the basic lay of the land. For others a topo is easier. Plus topo's show better detail.
You cannot invade mainland America. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.
