RE: How do you find things on this map? Ariel photo and topo now
Are you looking for a place to scout out and hunt? I guess I'm not certain what exactly it is you define by "things". from a post in the hunting forum I was led to believe you were looking for funnels.I'd check the lower right hand corner of the map. If there is a brook that runs along that ridge I'd get out the hip boots and walk the length of the brook. I've used this method to find where the deer concentrate their brook crossing. Often, one spot is prefered for one reason or another and either side of that crossing can be very productive.
Another spot I would check out, about half way up and a quarter of the way in from the left. The ridge jetts out and flattetens and wider on the map. Look around in that area for condensed movement.
Basically what you're looking for is a terraine feature or obstical such as a lake or river. A fence row between two fields or a finger of woods that jetts out into a field areboth classic funnel. The aerial photo is only a general guide and althought it can be helpful it can also be misleading. Most of the aerial photos are fairly old. (10 years or more) So needless to say what you see may not be what you find.
Read the topo and get some ideas of where to look and then put your shoes on and go take a look.
