As I spend more time in the woods watching and hunting these animals I am starting to feel like with just these two data points it is possible to have successful hunts. I think this skill is especially applicable to those who hunt public lands or those who do not have the luxury of planted fields and preset shooting houses.

Almost could make a fun game out of this with our aldeer brothers - posting these two images and letting people guess and learn from the sightings and successful hunts of others.

I know that there are more keys to the equation here (especially if you are only a trophy hunter) with food sources, hunting pressure and other influences.


There's no guarantee, but if you've followed deer in land where topo makes a difference like Jackson Co, you'll get close. Topo on flat ground don't mean doodly squat.


It helps in swampland a lot. Finding subtle ridges in the swamp they will bed on
