Rut range shift has begun

Bryan how are you keeping track of your cameras?

I am not seeing mature deer shifting yet where I'm at. I typically won't start seeing them moving until the first or second week of November

The locations. I will lose cameras if I don't mark them and the app I've been using has quit working.

I'm a mapping specialist, so EVERYTHING on my property is mapped. The location of every rub, scrape, treestand, and camera is mapped. I used to use tons of paper maps, but now I'm all digital. As soon as I get home from checking cameras, I update my map of camera locations so I don't forget where they are. And since digital is so easy to keep track of, I can pull up a map of any year and see every camera location I used that year, what the camera was pointed at, and the date I placed the camera there and the date it was removed.

To help others out, I would love to say I use this or that digital app on my phone to track things, but because it's what I do, I use high-end GIS mapping software.

Here's what the little birdie told my family what I want for Christmas. Would be an excellent functional wall art for the hunting cabin we're rebuilding. Your hunting cabin would be ideal for this kind of thing.

I absolutely love their magnetic, dry-erase map idea. Wish I knew how to print onto that media. But their maps are still just aerial photos. How old is that photo? Does the photo show every little ATV trail? Are the property boundaries accurate? My maps are a tad different, but the different habitat types are much clearer. Below is an example of one of my maps. Of course, my maps are probably just a tad more expensive than theirs!

If you care to have it at your fingertips, your ESRI data can be displayed on a smartphone via ArcGIS Companion app and/or ArcGIS Field Maps app.

Esri?

Yes, but the old ArcView. Not the new ArcGIS. Didn't want to pay $25,000 for software I already had! Of course, that means I have to keep a special PC for mapping. ArcView won't run on anything newer than Windows XP.

I collect the data with a submeter accuracy Trimble handheld GPS.
