For me, it doesn't matter if I am hunting deer or turkey on my home place in Indiana, chasing mulies or elk here in the Breaks, or traveling to any mountain range in Montana. Google Earth, Bing Maps or any other computer program pm that allows me to see the lay of the ground from the air is by far the biggest advantage to having a successful trip. Printed maps can not even come close to showing you what you will be needing to know about an area. I have friends come from all over the country to hunt and before they come out we can save days and hours of valuable time by "scouting" via
Google Earth. Nothing developed in the last 50 years in the way of range finders,optics,cell phones etc can even come close to that aerial scouting trip, that
Google provides.
