Summary

From large tracts, to tiny parcels with unique and difficult access, public land open to all of us dots our landscape like a Jackson Pollock painting, but it’s not always obvious where the different boundaries lye – or that they even exist. Jimmy, Mark and Erik sit down with Dylan Dowson and Jared Larsen from OnX Maps to chat modern mapping and land navigation. Scouting public and private land, using private landowner information for access and always having a GPS on you has never been easier or more effective. We cover couch-scouting, remote hunt planning, dropping icon-specific pins, pin organization, tracking your route in an out of an area, estimating distance, historical burn layers, historical timber harvest layers, landowner information, and even get a sneak-peek into some new game-changing features that make this a must-listen for anyone looking to elevate their outdoor game. As always, we want to hear your feedback! Let us know if there are any topics you'd like covered on the Vortex Nation podcast by asking us on Instagram @vortexnationpodcast
