Topic: Mastering Electronic Scouting – Finding Deer on Public Land Before You Ever Step Foot Outside
REGISTER

Success on public land doesn’t start in the woods — it starts on your screen. Join Trevor Griffin, Hunting & Shooting Education Specialist with GA DNR, as he teaches us how to use topographic maps, hunting apps, and proven deer behavior strategies to electronically scout public land like a seasoned hunter. Whether you’re preparing for early season whitetails or late-season rut hunts, this chat will show you how to locate high-percentage areas without wasting boots-on-the-ground time.

We’ll break down how to read terrain features from topo maps, identify overlooked bedding areas, find natural funnels and travel corridors, and try to predict feeding patterns based on seasonal deer movement (this is Georgia, so feeding patterns don’t always apply). You’ll also discover how to layer satellite imagery, property boundaries, and access points using modern hunting apps to gain a tactical edge on pressured public ground. Stop guessing. Start hunting smarter. REGISTER TODAY
