[QUOTE="Tree Farmer, post: 2519647, member: 75473"] I've used a Silva Ranger compass and a topo map to find my location by finding at least two known prominent features (usually a mountain or river gorge). Shoot an azimuth at two or more identified points on the map and draw a line at that azimuth, such as 240, 18, and 80 degrees, from those points. Where the lines intersect is your location. Obviously, if you're tagging an elk in a deep drainage this won't work. Do it when you're at a high point in the area you are hunting and use this location as a base point and track your movement periodically on the map. [/QUOTE]
