"Its better than nothing, i cant even scout the area i want to hunt because its the first person to get to the spot, gets to keep it that day,( and some people get there at 3am) So when i get to a spot i have to just find a spot with some deer sign, get in my climber and pray a deer walks by(its bow only). So it cant hurt ;/ "

Get some topo maps of the area and aerial photos....get a GPS unit...plot out where you think the deer will be in relation to the other hunters/areas so that you can at least narrow things down....look for the thicker nasty stuff if the area is heavily hunted....those things will at least help you narrow your search down for the deer and will allow you to adjust on the run rather quickly in a pinch.
