I have to ask... do you think that's purely a hunting pressure issue? Or is there something about the layout of the land features that is less attractive than it would appear on the map?
Not sure. I think maybe there's something to the idea of obvious map spots getting hunted enough to mess them up. I also think it's possible for there to just not be enough deer in the area for a good looking spot to be worth hunting.
On the flip side, sometimes very subtle things can draw deer or influence their movement. Underbrush is usually impossible to see from an aerial, but can drastically affect deer. A good example would be a palmetto flat or yaupon thicket in the middle of the woods. The only way you'll find that is by walking up on it.
UPDATE: A few people have sent PMs asking to see visually what I'm describing with DEM Shading. Remember, DEM (digital elevation model) is an acronym. In order to depict this visually, I selected an area of river bottoms w/no topo features to show how DEM Shading can allow you to see elevation intervals at ~1' increments, which can be essential for all of the reasons listed in my original post. While you can see 1' changes, it's important to add in ~1meter (3') increments.
INFO:
- River bottoms
- All maps are same view and are 7.5 min topo (1:24,000) with standard 10' elevation lines
- Second map (darker green shading) elevations 215-217 - Green when land is dry at 215'
- third map (blue shading) elevations 216-218 - blue when land is dry at 216'
- fourth map (black shading) elevations 217-219 - black when land is dry at 217'
