I’m sure lots of y’all already subscribe to The Hunting Public on YT, but if you aren’t or haven’t seen these yet, they’re doing a second “Mapping Whitetails w/ OnX” series for 2019. In 2018, they did a series focusing on how e-scouting meets field-scouting; this year, they are focusing on the same concept, but how it relates to specific terrain and habitat features.
I have watched a lot of scouting videos, from Hunting Beast to @John Eberhart’s BPW series, to the average-joe-blow-never-shot-a-doe videos that show up on YT like cancer. The Hunting Public’s “Mapping Whitetails” videos are some of the best.
Check out one of the newest videos here, then go into their Playlists for the 2018 series:
 
I just watched this video yesterday, and it's well put together with lots of good information!
I dig their presentation for sure. They integrate the OnX screenshots seamlessly, and one of the things I appreciate most is when you don’t hear absolutes. “I never hunt this time...” or “I always get X feet high or higher...” or “only when the moon is waning gibbous...” or “mature deer only move when...” might sound dope coming out of your mouth to some, but I personally don’t find it helpful or enlightening to hear fewer possibilities. THP seems to present a flexible style of hunting and scouting that meshes more closely with what I actually see and experience on public land.

I feel like these guys could be my hunting buddies, they don't seem like stuffy "pro's" that you see on lots of other "hunting shows"...
 
Best thing they coulda done was get away from bill

I'm not sure how many Midwest Whitetail videos I've watched but it's for sure been several of the Chasing November seasons. That being said, I've always felt a super weird vibe coming from ol' Bill.

Yup 3 words that don't belong in the outdoors. Always, guarantee and never.

I used to watch MW whitetail all the time too and glad that I got away from it. I just didn't care for the sellout feel of the sponsors and the fact that most guys couldn't relate to the type of hunting going on there. They seemed to only really add much real world hunting once Aaron left and gave them some competition for viewers.
