I have mapping software that incorporates on line maps. I make my own maps to get started (before I scout it out). After I go through the whole place following the deer trails as best I can and loading in way points of interest in my gps (also compatible) I return to the software and down load all the points to the map. Makes great maps that way and when I want to hunt the place I take the map and am in stand long before day light.

Been back to places I hadn't been too in years and killed deer with the information. The software also allows me to put pictures any where on the map so I can see just what I saw when I was there.

With just a topo you make your best guess and hunt it. The more you hunt it the more you learn, or you can scout it out during the off season, see what the deer do there and then hunt it being way ahead of the game.

Deer eat, sleep, breed you want to be in between some where. If you go in and just hunt it without scouting it you run a very good risk of crossing one of those points and chancing them out. With the map and all your info on it you'll see the traffic patterns.

Kind of thick out there now, but you can still scout it.

The map looks confusing, I can give you site where you can see the areas that you can hunt and those which are restricted. Check www.myhuntinglands.com/maps and click what state and county you will hunt. It is also a map but its more specific than the one that you gave. Hope it helps, Goodluck!
