Can I filter hunting areas by species on onX Maps?

Filtering Hunting Areas on onX Maps

onX Maps has revolutionized the way hunters scout and plan their expeditions. One of its most powerful features is the ability to filter hunting areas by species. This can be done by creating custom layers, which allow you to narrow down your search based on specific criteria such as deer, elk, turkey, or even waterfowl. By using onX’s proprietary data, you can create layers that indicate areas with high concentrations of the species you’re targeting.

Creating Custom Layers

To create custom layers, start by navigating to the “Layers” tab on the onX Maps interface. From here, you can select from a variety of pre-built layers, including species-specific options. For example, you can choose the “Deer Habitat” layer, which highlights areas with suitable deer habitat, or the “Elk Migration Routes” layer, which shows areas where elk tend to migrate. You can also create custom layers by importing data from your own sources, such as GPS tracks or notes from previous hunting trips.

Using Filters to Refine Your Search

Once you’ve created your custom layers, you can use onX’s filtering tools to refine your search even further. For example, you can filter by species, habitat type, terrain, and even public land boundaries. This allows you to quickly identify areas that meet your specific criteria, and eliminate areas that don’t. By combining custom layers with filters, you can create a highly targeted search that helps you find the best hunting areas for your next trip. With onX Maps, you can streamline your scouting process and spend more time in the field, where it counts.
