Scouting Notebook Suggestions

Someone else posted this form over on the hunting beast and I used it as a template. Mine is very close to this.

That would be mine :)

I do have to admit, though... I am getting to where I do more and more of my documenting on google earth. I just put the descriptions in the "memo" spot for each waypoint, and don't put anything in the "title" box. Each item gets its own custom, color coded icon instead of a name. Done this way, all that shows on my google earth is the icons, but all the info expands when you hover over them.
I also keep them saved in separate folders, categorized by state, property, year and season. This way, I can turn off select folders and see just a single year's info, or select all folders to look for an overall pattern from year to year.

I would post an example, but it would publish an entire area I hunt for the world to see... not too keen on that.

EDIT: here is one location zoomed and cropped to remove all identifiable landmarks. It makes seeing the big picture really intuitive. Entry and exit paths are marked in the same file, so if I have signal I can load it into the google earth app on my iPhone and follow it right in. These two symbols are rubs, and a stand. Anything green is deer sign or my setup, anything red is other human sign.
