MyTopoScout Service Released

MYTOPO.COM AND WHITETAIL HUNTING EXPERT BILL WINKE PARTNER TO OFFER PERSONAL HUNTING AREA ANALYSIS SERVICE

BILLINGS, MT – MyTopo.com and noted whitetail expert Bill Winke have partnered to offer a service, called MyTopoScout, in which Mr. Winke personally reviews a topographic map and an aerial photo of a hunting area in addition to comments from the hunter to provide an expert’s analysis on how to hunt the area most effectively.

The customer receives a multi-page written analysis on how to most effectively hunt the area from Mr. Winke, a 24” x 36” waterproof topo map with the hunting property centered, and a matching 24” x 36” aerial photo map with Mr. Winke’s suggested stand locations, key terrain features, and possible food plot locations marked.   The service costs $399 and takes two to four weeks to complete.  Included in the price is a 30-minute phone consultation with Mr. Winke and a one-year subscription to an award-winning online mapping service.  To order the service, go to www.mytopo.com/scout.

MyTopo.com offered this service during the fall of 2005 with excellent demand and satisfied customers.

“My main reason for trying the MyTopoScout service last Fall was to get a professional’s opinion regarding stand locations.  Living in flat South Florida and hunting in hilly Georgia, I was curious to see how the terrain might affect bigger bucks and their travel routes.  Bill Winke’s review showed that we had some stands in the right spots, and more importantly to me, provided some new places to hunt that were not being pressured.  Bill gave a thorough analysis of each stand site, which included the best route to get there and the best times and conditions to hunt each stand.  I was impressed that he could be so in-depth without having actually been on the property,” said Dan Rogers, who was among the first customers to try the service.

“We received extremely positive feedback from the customers who got their orders in last Fall,” said Paige Darden, director of public relations for MyTopo.com.  “We were overwhelmed by the response to the service and extremely pleased by the feedback we received from customers.”
“I am pleased to be working with MyTopo.com on this project.  It was something that I had wanted to try, and with MyTopo’s support on the mapping side, I feel we are able to provide a valuable service,” said Bill Winke. Winke has been writing full-time for hunting magazines for 14 years.  He specializes in articles about hunting strategies for whitetail deer.
