Outdoors

This map graphic shows the public piece of land referenced in the column. Potential bedding is based off of different habitat types coming together with the smaller trees within the grass on an elevation line. The slough to the south creates a pinch point with the timber that could funnel deer from the bedding into the field to the south to feed at night. (Map created from OnX Hunt App)
