Use your new found friend on every trip into the hills you may take, whether it be for hunting, camping, hiking or whatever. Use it for all the seasons in which you venture into your hunting areas, and use it often. You will soon be able to know exactly where the elk will be at any given time, as well as where they summer, and where they winter. You will be able to pinpoint the travel routes between the summer range and the winter range as well. Simply use a straight line and draw. For instance, if you know where the winter range is, and you have all the sightings on your map, draw a line from the winter grounds through the sightings and harvest sites and BINGO, you can now find there summer range and the routes in which they may take. Every trip into the hills in which you hunt will add another piece of the huge puzzle and one day all the pieces may fit together to give you the best guide ever. You can choose to use whatever codes you want, as long as you know what they are. Someone else may look at your map and not be able to see anything on it but a bunch of scribbling, and your little secret spots will be your's and your's only until you decide to give the info out to a friend or another hunter. You have earned the right to keep these places a secret, as it was you that did the legwork, and spent the countless hours, days, and weeks in the field doing your homework. You should also make note of all game trails you come across. No one knows the lay of the land better than the game that lives there year round. These trails which you mark on your map will also help you find the little hidy holes of elk. They can also help you to get from point A to point B with a little more ease. These trail that you mark will also help you to plan an approach to any area you wish to hunt, whether it be on a ridge, through the thickest and nastiest deadfall known, or simply to a well used feeding or bedding area. So get a new best friend for hunting. You will always be able to rely on it, and will always be available to go hunting with you at any time, and in any weather. You will never have to wait for to pick you up to go, and is a friend that you can carry on your back, or in your pocket with no trouble at all. It will be a life long friend with all your hunting information on it, created by you and for you, only to release that info by you. |
