Where would you pick to hunt

[KMurph332]

I know without actually being on the ground scouting the area you wont know for sure but looking at a map where would you start

[Steve D]

Good a place as any:

Definitely the Adirondacks where I'm from. Maybe hard hunting but the kill is worth the reward. Big woods means hard hunting.

have no idea how to point this out (not real computer savvy) but i would look at the lower middle area in white just to the top left of that first little pond.  right near where the elevation starts and that little bump of it sticks out.  but really tough to tell.  I would generally always start with contour changes and where trails may be formed.  Then look for a food source and deer activity and go from there. 

or right between what looks like a road/trail and where elevation looks steep in the middle in green.  Might be a good funnel

Pinch points for sure.

Lot of missing factors..prevailing wind, compass points.. pressure from public or private land.. personally with not enough in formation I would look at the bench saddle.at elevation 1440 to 1520 for most activity. If a high pressure area the small benched around 1600 ft on Right side of mountain in center of map.

I don't know I thought the question was where would I prefer to hunt. So I commented. If you don't mind me asking is it in the Adirondacks and what part. I hunt the northern Adirondacks.

I like the 2 lower spots g man marked. The one on the left looks like a bowl, and the lower right is a ridge. Should be sign between those 2 areas.

On the other side of the trespassing signs lol 

Or close to the river bed probably 

[NonTypical]

I like saddles myself. I would start on the right side.

The only problem with that spot you circled is i know a couple of people hunt it  it's public land but adk deer spook very easy and they have alot of room to hide

[KMurph332]

I was thinking those 2 spots with the money symbol 

[Bionic]

Always amazed with posts like this, how guys can start to pin point areas for deer hunting, before putting boots on the ground.  I do understand, well do understand the terms of which to look for, saddles, benches, drainages, pinch points, and when I feel I slightly can locate these spots on the topo maps, I see others input, and feel I had it wrong all along.

What area of adks is this I hunt up there and there's a few features that remind me of my topo maps but don't have them on me. Feel free to pm if you want

Yea looks like a hike. That would be my first go. At least to see if it's good.

Not the same spot lol. Figured it wasn't but those few ponds looked pretty similar.
