Navigation

I recently did a Men's Bible study entitled navigation. I was teaching on finding direction from the Bible, in life, or anything that this would apply to. Hunters in the old magazines always used topographic maps for scouting or planning to hunt new areas. I have used this method when starting out hunting public land or new hunting clubs. Each time I use what I have learned from my experiences and the symbols for topographs. But when I first started I didn't understand how to read these maps so I bought maps of the hunting land I was raised on to study. By doing this I could find mountains, ridges, or other land fixtures. Water was easy it is the same for all maps.
I try to hunt funnels, edges,ridges, and swamps . Using what I 've learned I can spot these on my maps. It has come in handy in my hunts. I learned how to navigate these maps and in doing I also learned how to have better hunts.
