griding out a site to hunt

[bentrac]

Am going to hunt fields where 2 school houses used be. Was wondering what kind of grid people used so I can try it. What directions you go and such so I can get a plan of attack. Thanks in advance for the info!

I have 4 tent stakes and 100 feet of string every 25 feet is a stake and I make a 25x25 foot square and after every target is dug ,the 2 stakes on the opposite end that I finish is moved forward this works for me I hope it helps you.It doesn't sound that big but when you are digging all signals sometimes it feels to big,I also if it has a lot of signals I detect and pen point then use a golf tee and then after I have marked all signals with the T's,I will go in with my pro pointer and dig.Once I recover all my targets and T's I do it again and again until they are all gone.

Good Luck and HH

I hope this helps and just take it slow and easy

I've done big lawns and fields just by whatching where my foot prints are. Works best in lawns

On large mowed areas I use 2 plastic tent stakes and string (use a carpenters chalkline w/no chalk, makes it faster reeling in when done). Swing up both sides and then move over overlaping of course. Change direction and repeat. Small areas I just use visual references.

I pick out 4 physical landmarks (trees, fence posts, driveways) and work out that area going back and forth. If I find much turn 90 degrees and go over it again. Keep the area small enough for it to be manageable.
