Day 11: The Power of Maps

Quote: “The land ethic simply enlarges the boundaries of the community to include soils, waters, plants, and animals, or collectively: the land.” – Aldo Leopold

Topographical maps are more than tools—they’re windows into the land’s story. Ridges, valleys, and edges often dictate deer movement, especially in winter when travel is more deliberate.

Tip: Use mapping apps like Spartan Forge to layer topography and aerial imagery. Mark key features like bedding areas, water sources, and funnels for your next hunt.

Takeaway: Knowing the land deeply leads to hunting success. Study it now, and the rewards will come later.
