Best map app!!

When you move to a new area we all know the struggles of finding a new place to hunt. I've been using onX for the past five years now and it is by far the best map app that I've used. Whether I'm in the Rocky Mountains in Southwest Colorado or Oklahoma looking for a new public hunting area. It allows me to know exactly where the boundaries are as well as new places that I had no idea where accessible.

It's been a couple years ago now, but I had an elk hunter that I was guiding in Colorado. We'd been hunting all week were struggling to get a bull to cooperate. The last morning I took him to a place that I'd hunted for years without onX. We came up over a ridge that I knew there was a fence on the other side. Wouldn't you know it there was about fifty head of elk on the ridge just across the fence. As we were glassing the biggest bull which was only a 5x5 but a nice one and it was the last day. I decided to check the map since we were in an area that I had service, and found out that this fence that I'd been thinking for a couple years was a boundary fence turned out to only be a drift fence for livestock. Needless to say I got really excited and was able to get my guy set up to take the shot and he killed the bull. It was definitely one of those times that I was very thankful to have onX in my pocket.

I use the Track feature a lot when I'm exploring new area to know how I got into an area or how to "Not" go in. The map tools are great being able to customize the color and the icon of a particular point makes each saved location easily identifiable. Because I hunt in multiple states the Elite membership is a great option for the money.

The only thing that I don't really like about it that I run into in Colorado a lot, is there are parcels that are green (which is the color of public land) but don't specify that it's public or not. On my DIY antelope hunt last year I ran into this a lot and never got any clarification about any of the little parcels that were randomly scattered about in the middle of private land. Didn't end up getting a goat but I will definitely be back out again this year with a whole new strategy on where to go thanks to these maps.
