This is crude..........I always just print my maps off yahoo but just realized now that I couldn't save them or copy them (at least that I could tell). If anyone knows how to copy off yahoo let me know.

Forgive the coffee stains, smears, and overall caveman look.........I just threw it on the counter and took a pic with my camera. Anyways, check it out I will post some pics of my scouting trip today as well.

Blue is my entry and exit routes.
Green is most used deer trails (there are many more)
Circled stand is where we saw the most deer this year.
Red X is where I killed a deer.
Black XXXXX are good rub lines.
S is what I believe is a primary scrape area.
And I just realized I didn't mark in the bedding areas [:@]
Corn=Corn [8D]


The land I can hunt goes farther south and west...........stupid Yahoo would only print this much in decent detail.

Some beds in the woods on the south end of the map (about 100 yards in from the corn)

Want to put a stand in this tree.........it is on the edge of the thick brush but can still sneak a peak into the golden rod field near the pond.
