Quick Answer
Yes, you can filter out non-hunting areas using onX Maps features by setting boundaries and layering public land data, private property lines, and other relevant information to create a customized map for hunting locations.
Filtering Public Land Boundaries
onX Maps offers advanced public land data, including BLM, national forest, and national park boundaries. By layering these maps, you can quickly identify areas that are open to hunting and those that are restricted. For example, if you’re hunting in the western United States, you can layer the BLM data to see which areas are open to public hunting. This can be especially useful when scouting for areas to hunt, as you can quickly identify the best locations.
Setting Waypoints and Marking Hunting Spots
Once you’ve identified potential hunting areas, you can create waypoints and mark specific locations on your map. onX Maps allows you to create and store multiple waypoints, which can be useful for tracking your progress and marking key locations, such as deer rubs, scrapes, or other signs of wildlife activity. You can also add notes and photos to each waypoint, making it easy to reference and review your scouting efforts later.
Using Offline Maps for E-Scouting
onX Maps offers offline map capabilities, which can be a huge advantage when scouting in remote areas with limited cell service. By downloading maps for specific areas, you can still access your data and use the app’s features, even without a cell signal. This can be especially useful when trying to identify specific hunting spots or tracking wildlife movements, as you can quickly reference your map and make adjustments as needed.
