The Tools You Need

Timber Cuts Layer

We’ve compiled data from timber harvest projects on federal public land into the Timber Cuts Layer. Use this layer to hone in on areas with young growth and, therefore, a higher density of forage.

Custom Waypoints

Mark up your prospective hunting areas with fully customizable Waypoints. By setting Waypoints on potential stand locations, pinch points, and other areas of interest, you can cut down on your scouting time and make the most of every minute you spend in the woods.
