Skyline WMA Zone B Boundaries on your Phone GPS app

As described below, I traced out the boundaries of Skyline WMA Zone B and imported it to my GPS app on my phone. I've uploaded these boundaries in two formats, both you can download and use as you wish. Accuracy is within 30 to 60 feet so don't attempt to use it in court if you get a trespassing charge. It's only purpose is to give you a close guess as to where the boundaries are.

Skyline WMA Bounds Zone B (KML) - Suitable for import into Google Earth

Skyline WMA Bounds Zone B (GPX) - Suitable for importing into most GPS apps (for example Motion-X GPS)

IF YOU HAVE ISSUES DOWNLOADING THIS JUST PM ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AND I'LL EMAIL IT TO YA ...

For the Geeks ... Here's how I did it :

1) Obtain and open the 2014-2015 Skyline WMA document in PDF format on my PC. Zoom in on 3 sections of Zone B and take snapshots of them.

2) In Google Earth Pro I create layers with these images then stretch and resize them until the roads and boundaries in the PDF match those in Google Earth Pro. Set the transparency to about 50% so I can see through them.



3) By hand, using the Add Path tool in Google Earth Pro, I trace around the boundaries from the PDF images. Once done, I hide the images and only the boundaries appear.





4) I select the boundaries and save them as a KML file on my desktop. I use one of many online apps to convert the KML file to GPX format.

5) Import the GPX file into my iPhone app, depends on the app but this is really easy for me in Motion-X

Enjoy!

Cool, thanks for sharing that

You da man Rocket!

Impressive geek work Rocket Man!

We go to war we'll keep you in the rear,better than average redneck from Alabama.

LOL

I'll get Zone A done here in the next few days

Dont bother. Nobody should hunt zone A. No deer. Spend your time on B!

Your're right, everyone needs to be hunting Jacobs Mtn that's where the big uns are

You know where to send it to rocket

You've got mail Mr Hossman

What GPS app are you using on your phone? Iphone or Android?

iPhone, Motion-X GPS

I wonder how many 170 inch deer live within those red boundaries.

You serious Clark?

At least 4-5 per square mile id say. Gotta be.

That's ridiculous!


Way to low, more like 8-10.

Dead serious!

In that case, I'll give a dead serious answer. Not a DAMN one on most years.

Awesome!! Thanks Rocket!

Can anyone tell me if the zone b property off of county rd 312 the round mountain side have any atv trails or do u have to access it all by foot..... is there anywhere to park off of 312. Thanks for taking time to read my post and for any responses

I'm looking at it in Google Earth pro and I see no trails and no off road lots to park in ... with the exception of some sort of trail right next to the '312' sign in this image

Thanks Rocket ... i guess ill ride up that way and see for myself this afternoon thanks for the help.

Sure, let me know what you find

Gross or net? Typical or Non?

Rocket there is no 4 wheeler or truck access there is a gate at the end of the road that goes to the private property.u could park on the side of the road and the property line follows the road all the way down to the gate then it crosses road and goes up round mountain. ... thanks for the overlay of the property lines on google earth

Sure thing, thanks for the response

Do u guys think that it would be ok to park off the side of a county rd to hunt a wma..... the gate is at the end of the road and i will make sure i dont block the gate to the wma..... any thoughts or suggestions

Should be fine. Heck everybody has to park off of a road in most all WMA's, be it forestry service or otherwise. I know I've seen people park on the side of a county road during gun hunts at different WMAs.

Thanks for the response i appreciate it

Are you still working on Zone A? I would really like to see those boundaries on google earth.

So busy at work I haven't even started on it. Hopefully I'll have it done before rifle season starts next week
