Thank you for taking the time to do this video! These maps are overwhelming trying to learn. Pulling my phone out and comparing to the map while I'm out there, definitely teaches me to most!

You should most definitely do more break down videos like this. I just got into hunting and although I can read a map pretty well already this still helped and it would be great to see a breakdown of how to find and hunt deer for someone who just started and don’t know all the lingo and typical stuff experienced hunters know. Most of the time when I watch videos on hunting it’s hard to follow because it like they’re speaking Chinese.
