Honey Hole bmp map...
 

Okay, I sorta have this bmp thing down, somewhat thanks to Buck Slayer. The unfortunate thing is I can't find a good site that zooms in very well to my area of the country.

Looking at the map above, this is my honey hole. I have the treestand locations marked in Red, the white marks are my walk in paths. I can hunt the hole area in deep red as well as the area in baby blue. The baby blue is my family farm. The green is soybean, the yellow is corn this year. The flourescent green is my food plot. The area north west of my food plot is a thick bedding area. There are other bedding areas throughout the family farm as well as the bigger woods. The food plot is in a well used funnel between the two woodlots. This has treated me very well. I've killed bucks from all three treestand locations. The field north of my stands is also beans. The property north of this goes from a recreation area into a christmas tree farm. I've narrowed these stand sites from 25 years of hunting this property. There are few other "great" choices.

To give you scale, the family farm in baby blue is 44 acres.

To give some insight.

Here's a picture of the first stand that is hung over the food plot:



And looking out from the food plot stand looking west toward the other stand:



This is from the west stand looking west toward the corn fields to the west and from this stand I shot last years buck:



Same stand looking south east toward the food plot stand, from last year:



My buck last year came out under the food plot stand and I called him down that path to this stand.

Here's a shot from the nothern most stand looking toward the recreation area looking north, took my best buck from this stand.

looks like you have it down, good looking place by the way. Have you tried google earth, its got a fairly good zoom?

blood, mobow asked me the same thing. I downloaded it hoping but it sucks just for my area. Apparently my area of PA isn't updated.[:'(] I checked out GMMATs where I hunted with him and told him I could practically see his hot tub at his house...in my area, you can't even see what a house is, it doesn't focus at all..[&:]:eek:

RE: Honey Hole bmp map...
 

I saw his hot tub from sat at 1 am and it wasn't a pretty sight. I have to ask what was blow up doll for? HOV restrictions? Why so many guys?

RE: Honey Hole bmp map...
 

i like your layout......i hope when i am done with college that i can own land....

RE: Honey Hole bmp map...
 

Good set up Rob, what a blessing!!! You should see some good deer. I like how you have the 3 stands for the wind changes.

RE: Honey Hole bmp map...
 

LOL, Fieldmouse. Believe me.....if Rob could see my hot tub from that site......he'd have it saved to his favorites ;).

RE: Honey Hole bmp map...
 

duc....Rob and Jenny.....Lisa and I....are good friends. All of our photos are posted at the top of the page, also. It's no big deal, really.

RE: Honey Hole bmp map...
 

Were all among friends here!

RE: Honey Hole bmp map...
 

Just giving you a hard time Jeff.

What is that in their glasses, cristal?:D

RE: Honey Hole bmp map...
 

Hardly, duc. probably some cheap wine!:D

Rob...I got the email of the google earth site and my hunting grounds.....but I can't get it to print like yours.

Hep!

RE: Honey Hole bmp map...
 

You guys try http://maps.live.com/?

Google earth is not very good with rural areas.

RE: Honey Hole bmp map...
 

Rob, i guess im lucky, my area is very clear. i have heard others say that about google earth to. Would you believe of all things, When i zoomed in on my place, its showing my home when it burned to the ground in 2005 [&o]Guess that was there last update!

RE: Honey Hole bmp map...
 

Wow, what a pleasant surprise to log on and see my gorgeous wife...

Germ, We know. ;)

Jeff, [8D] I might have to upgrade Google Earth to real time so I can keep an eye on you. :D

I was told to hit Print Screen, on my keyboard it's a secondary function key. I have to hit FN and then PRT SC....

I open the program Paint...(Start, Programs, Access, Paint) Once paint opens, I click Edit and Paste...

Since you have it as a picture that I sent it to you. I would think you could right click it and save it as a picture....? ? ?

Some of this is getting above my computer "expertise"...[8D]

RE: Honey Hole bmp map...
 

Rob, use Fraley's link above. My property just north of you comes out amazing and you can see everything in 3D. That's my new favorite mapping software.........

RE: Honey Hole bmp map...
 

try this..
go to weather.com, type in your zip code, and click on radar map, and keep clicking on the location and you can zoom in pretty good. this is what i use. also mytopo.com is pretty good.

RE: Honey Hole bmp map...
 

that is a nice website, but my house has been there for 12yrs, and it doesnt show up....

RE: Honey Hole bmp map...
 

Agreed! Yahoo maps work better for me than google. Might give that a try too Rob.

RE: Honey Hole bmp map...
 

Weather.com uses live.maps.com as it's base so the two are the same with the weather map having radar super imposed on it. I second Live.maps.com the pic of my land has my house being built so it's no more than two years old.
