Favorite E Scouting App/Site?

Unread postby BCD » Thu Feb 04, 2021 9:34 am

What is your favorite e-scouting site for desktop scouting? Also, does anyone know of an online e-scouting course aimed at whitetails?

Thank You!

I use a combination of OnX, CalTopo, and sometimes Google Earth. I don't know about a course, but seazofcheese (a member here) has a great article and video on the topic:

OnX
OnX has a bunch of videos on YouTube that could be used as your “Course”
I know that the hunting public also has videos on how they use OnX
I would start there.
OnX isn’t necessarily the best out there but it is a tool that is in the toolbox that can and does help.
Just don’t ignore the others tools that are available

I like OnX and also use Google earth to get a better view. I really haven't used much outside of that.

I like On X for property boundaries but the topos are nearly worthless as they lack any detail.

OnX, HuntStand, google earth, and any online plat maps for the county of interest. If you’re lucky, the county maps online will have some really detailed maps and aerial imagery

Basemap is a good one as well.
