The one thing you can see from google earth sometimes is what type of vegetation... if you read enough too... soil types have something to do with location also....which you mostly can't tell from aerials.
What I'm saying... I've found deer and elk via topo, but not every "hotspot" you find, will have animals or the ability to hold animals... you could find a nice remote bench in a steep area, hard to get to etc.... and if you went in opening morning at 2am with GPS or however... never having seen it, you might be on a bench in the middle of a boulder field....
