How to tell HOW THICK THE WOODS ARE FROM A MAP! Map Scouting for Deer 

Fantastic tutorial! Amazing how different things are down here in the south from how they were in the north.

You said it best about Google Earth Pro! Similar layout like you did with this one, but you, Jacob, and Mike each doing a breakdown of a non familiar property by map scouting to determine spots that you would want to check to possibly hunt on a 3 day hunt. Well put together guys!

Thanks a mil my brother. Been hunting the southern bottom land Louisiana hardwood and swamps, but have been map scouting north/central LA for moving this year, this is very helpful!

Thanks for sharing this info. Hunting southern pines is difficult and any help is appreciated.

This is what you’ve been missing, boys. FINALLY some map videos! I love it! More of this content, please. So often on the podcast I feel like we dive deep down a rabbit hole in the thicket, and I’m rewinding/scrubbing the episode to try to understand what the terrain looks like and what we’re talking about. THP does these videos a lot, but I can’t always apply their Iowa map tactics to a timber company pine thicket. So this type of video is really helpful for the southern boys, and there’s ways to do it without giving away your spots. If y’all ever need help with videos or adding b-roll, I’m local to the area, so just send me a message.

Your content is next level.

OnX use to have winter images when it was new, u had to zoomed in more and it would change. I totally agree, miss that.

Very helpful info! keep videos like this coming!

Good info.

Very helpful. Thanks. I've seen other videos talk about transition lines and didn't know how to determine where they were on the map. Also, it explains why the under story is thick near the road, but thin deeper in.

Never used a map, just boots on the ground here in the thick, steep mountains here in Harlan Ky. It’s just too thick and has too many cliffs and high walls filled with Laurel bushes under the huge canopies. Just can’t tell enough about the territory here on a map. Gotta put in the old school scouting here.

So if you're looking at satellite imagery to find good spots to gather pine straw , you would want a thick canopy with no gaps, right ? I wouldn't be using satellite for hunting, so I wouldn't want other things growing under the trees?

Huntstand has last months images. They aren't great, but they are recent.
