Yahoo aerial of my property........
 
Here is mine. The pink spots are stands that are already existing. The green outlined spots are the foodplots that are already in for this year (you can read more about those in the wildlife management forum). The yellow outlined spots are the plots for next year that are going in. Obviously the orange line is the property boundry.

This last weekend after working all day on the food plots, I spent a good bit of time glassing the fields in the evenings. I was able to spot a very good 3-4 year old buck in the southwest corner of the property right where you see that foodplot that is planned for next year. I also saw an OK looking 2 year old there as well as multiple does and fawns. We have always seen a lot of deer entering the field there, that island in the middle of the field provides good cover, and those dots in the field just to the west of it are apple trees.........they love those. This is also a hot spot for rutting action, as we commonly see bucks run does out into the field there. Problem there is wind, only once it a while is it working in your favor there.

On the north east corner of the property, you can see that other field. I was able to spot 3 bucks there this weekend on both Saturday and Sunday evenings. 1 of them may have been a 3 year old that was already close to 100" or so, a bit wider and about as tall as his ears. The other was a small basket rack 8 pointer, and the other was probably a small yearling 6 pointer or so. Lots of does out there as well.

I hit the print screen button, then hold control key down and hit C key to cut the image. Then I opened MS Paint and held control P to paste the saved image into paint. Once there I just used MS paint to mark the map.

I would like to give a big thank you to Rick James for this info!! Alot of people have posted stuff on here for free aerial pics but am always disapointed when I look at my house and see my neighbors house that was built fifteen years ago is not their. Google earth, microsoft, and all the others that are free and have been on here all are missing the fifteen year old house! A big thanks for an updated pic. At my hunting spot the farmer had an old barn that he burnt down in the summer of 2004 and it not their! Sorry for running on but what good are maps that are 15-20 years old? Thanks rick!

Rick thanks for the great site, but I'm having trouble moving it to MS paint. I don't find the "print screen button". I only find "printable version" button at the top of the map area. In the yahoo window I go to "file...print" and it goes to my printer control window. Can you help?
