[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 3068313, member: 91783"] A few years before I retired, I knew that I was going to retire at some point so I took the time to do some GPS locating of all of my dens that I had located in the last thirty years or so contacted a satellite map maker and asked if they could put them on a satellite map. We talked about how I should get my GPS readings and decided that I would go out and get the boundary lines of the different ranches and the den sites for them and have three sets of maps made, with some on each map as some would overlap each other and others were too far separated from the rest to all fit on one map. A solid red line for the boundaries of each ranch and a C for coyote dens and an F for the fox dens. Each of these maps were three feet square in color from satellite pictures taken in the fall of the year so mostly brown, but showed the roads, cow trails and fence lines well, all of the land features were plainly visible, and it then really became clear as to why the selection of the den sites, and similar areas that I didn't work for in the surrounding area. I think that a person could figure out and look at the areas on google earth or something of the same kind of site, and it would help you know your areas better and then figure out where you wanted to call set traps or other control work faster. It was an interesting experience, and I am sure that others have already figured out that it's a very useful tool. my replacement found the maps to be very handy for him as well. [/QUOTE]
