GMU Hunting Unit Maps
MyTopo hunt area maps provide the Western US public land hunter with 1:100,000 Bureau of Land Management (BLM) base maps with Game Management Unit (GMU) boundaries as an overlay and each unit centered on its own pre-made map.

I often use paper maps when learning a new area and scouting. They are nice to write comments on rather than having to deal with a 2" x 4" iphone screen....or even smaller gps screen! There are lots of x's and scribbling on my paper maps! They are gold when I return home. Another item I don't leave home without is an old school camcorder. They are fantastic for filming country and field judging critters on the big screen when I return home.
Old school isn't always bad!

I am hunting a new unit this year. Never been in the area. I like to lay the map out with my partner Im hunting with and pick out areas we like to check out. Camping spots distance between areas ect. Much easier than moving around a computer screen for me.

I'm in bed now but PM me and I'll get you all the information tomorrow to contact USGS , older 1/24000 (7.5 min) maps are $8 and newer ones are $15. I enjoy spending evenings laying several maps out and getting the big picture. Sorry SS , can't do that on my onX phone app. I've got hundreds of paper maps acquired over the years.

There’s not enough paper in this world to make a map to keep you from being lost. Paul 4:20

This!!! I've ordered all of my game management unit maps for various states from Mytopo.com. It's a great resource and I like reading paper maps in the field as my eyes ain't what they used to be. Trying to read an iPhone screen or hand-held GPS is harder the older you get. Yes, I'm old school and a land surveyor so old habits are hard to break. Good comments too, Jims!!!GMU Hunting Unit Maps

Oh, and I've never been lost with maps. Been confused for a few weeks... but never lost!

You can probably talk to the local office of the land management organization that would cover most of the area (BLM or Forest Service) ask them if they could make you a map. Usually are about $20 and you can have them layer the GIS for Fences, water, roads, surface ownership, topo, their water upgrade projects...…….

I have all the maps downloaded on my cellphone- clearly best approach while on the ground. Also have apple carplay while driving. But...
For new units, I print out large paper map copies to do exactly as jims does- great for taking notes, marking areas of interest, etc, etc. Old school does indeed beat technology sometimes. And I don't even have to crank up a time machine to do it!

Green indeed.
1) I use recycled paper. (1 carbon offset credit)
2) My diesel truck has that ridiculous DEF system. (3 carbon offset credits)
3) The paper maps make me much more efficient scouting new units (1000's of carbon offset credits).
I tried selling those bad boys back to John Kerry- but contacting him is difficult as he jets around in a private jet while lecturing me on not using paper maps

Its you SS that have issues sir, can't stop attacking me for my Faith. Fyi , I'll NEVER back down as my life was drastically changed in 1997 when the light came on that , even though I was raised in a good home,( not a Christian home) with parents teaching me good manners etc. I could never in my own self righteousness enter into the presence of a Holy/ Sinless God.....only happens when Jesus covered my sin . No need for a sarcastic reply.

My Hunt Office is lined with oversized Maps.
I too like to get a bigger/broader view when planning a hunt.
Then I save Off Grid on my phone/OnxMaps.

Looks like a fire hazard with all those combustibles on the wall. Don’t fall asleep smoking a cigar in that recliner boomer…
Oh, I got to get one of those of Mt Dutton. Thanks for the decorating idea.

Take a look at these. Used these before onx. Worked great and waterproof. My only complaint is small drainges were not labled compared to onx. Maybe their new ones are more updated

I have one of these I got for a previous hunt. They are OK. One thing I do like about them is that they are smaller.Take a look at these. Used these before onx. Worked great and waterproof. My only complaint is small drainges were not labled compared to onx. Maybe their new ones are more updated
