excellent post Germ!

my first stand selection off the bat was where huntingson would been hunting!! thats an awesome looking funnel..your spot looks great too. i bet its kind of a staging area/access point to either field. i love that somewhat secluded field corner your near.

when scouting new areas topos and sattalite pics are my favorite tool. can really save on leg work. dad taught me to read a topo before i could pee straight. now with todays age of sattalite and ariel pics on the internet IMO them coupled with good topos are priceless. if your good you can almost pick your stand locations before stepping foot in the woods. but like me and huntingson...there just might not be a tree around so you still gotta get out there.

looking forward to your topo session!! great post...thanx for sharing.
