Map Work Overload

[shoningram]

I noticed something after only two weeks of muzzleloader hunting. I am exhausted from studying topo maps, google earth, caltopo, trimble outdoors and all the other online aids that I use to get a feel for the area that I am hunting. I got a late start on getting everything going this year and felt I needed to prepare by study, study, study. Well, I think it was a mistake. Now Im burnt out on guessing where deer will be.

Do you think we rely on technology too much these days?

technology is good, but nothing like boot leather on the ground.

I can agree with that. I just feel that I put too much time into the maps and computer and finally said the heck with it and hit the woods. Lot more relaxing anyway. I think there is a time and place for the maps but I would like to get back to hunting like my dad and granddad did. without the use of cell phone topos and stuff.
