I thought OnXhunt accuracy did not seem too good. It may be because the map cannot be enlarged enough. I don't think it has a continuous accuracy readout to get you close.
Agree....after seasons over I pull all I find. 1 thing I seen another person here local do was write the dates his/her quota hunt on their flagging tape. I started doing the same. 1 pieceat the start of where I'll start off the trail or road. Hopefully help keep people out of your spot.
If I search on ebay for the term "White Reflective Sign Plotter Cutter Vinyl Roll" - is that similar to the vinyl that you are using? It almost looks like heat shrink, as tight as you have it.
That's the stuff....either a big or small roll
I have used On X for two years and like it but I've lost the boundaries and land ownership. Have contacted On X about 12 times. No help at all .I would give it up but really like to use it. They have to be the most difficult outfit I've ever tried to contact
I love these. I clip them to a piece of 550 cord and wear it on my pack strap so that they are easy to clip on and off as you need them. Putting them in a pocket makes they kind of hard to manage

I do essentially the same with the vinyl....its just so wasteful since it tears whenever u remove.....I wanted something just as bright and reflective but be able to reuseI’ve tried many things through my life. With gps satellite maps on my phone, I rarely mark anything in the woods now. I do carry reflective tape pieces cut 1/4 wide x 2in long for thick areas. I just wrap it around a twig, branch, or leaf, hanging down so I can see it from 360. They take up hardly zero room and stay in my hip pouch on my backpack for easy access. No one will notice them in daylight. The roll of tape was given to me. It’s a coast guard reflective tape. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-10-Ft-...rproof-Safety-Marine-Grade-Boat-/273965790329
This stuff is extremely bright so you only need small pieces. If you wrap it back on itself it will hold very well. Have to cut off. I use to wrap a small piece around the ends of clothes pins but they were too bulky. Then I wrapped them around tacks but still bulky and had to have them in a container. Just made sense to keep little strips and wrap them back on themselves around sticks.
After seeing those ropes posted above, it made me think of this stuff. I use the 1.8mm reflective rope on my tarp guylines for my hammock. They shine awesome. If the rope trial markers is what you want to use, id look into these items.

Another interesting idea. Many thanks. While searching on this topic I see that many of them are clear as well, so it'd be a bit low key, until the lights come on. Another idea, that might work is black light paint. And that might be good for wma land, where others can't see your trail, unless they happen to have a black light for tracking blood.
All depends on how thick it is. If I need to be that accurate to follow an exact trail, I want to be able to see the next marker from a marker. That might be 10ft or 100 ft. But the further they are apart and the thicker it is, the easier it is to get off the trail and not see the next marker but gps should get you close enough to find the markers again. If I wanted to take them down often, I'd go with the reflective guy lines idea. And you can get a color to see in daylight or blend in, depending on the situation.
