Want to know how to actually use the tools that are available in onX maps? Well, I am here to help! In this video series we will cover how to actually use onX maps to plan a hunt.
It is not as difficult as it may seem. Once you understand a few specific steps and how to use the tools it will make your time in the hunting field much easier! - Спорт
I live in Albany I'm going to start hunting. I just wanted to say thank you for everything you're doing for first time hunters. I have watched tons of your videos and it really helps. Thank you keep up the good work. God bless u
Joseph O'Connell hey thanks Joseph! It’s hard to tell sometimes if people are actually getting use out of these videos. I am glad to hear that you are! Thanks for taking the time to write a comment, it pumps me up! Best of luck as you move forward towards hunting!
I am new to sweet home, found any good spots up hwy 20 yet?
It's nice to see a young Mexican guy out there hunting and teaching others.
Robert Schill thanks for the kind words.
This is great. Recently moved to Colorado and this will be extremely helpful! Thanks!
Andrew Johnson thanks for the support and enjoy all that Colorado has to offer!!

Thank you young man great information!! I just finished your first video and the length of it was perfect. I just moved to Missouri from the great state of Texas to be near family. The rifle season for deer is only 10 days 😩 Since l know very few people here access to private land to deer hunt is near impossible. So hunting public land will be my first option. But with the onx maps you are teaching us it could open up some possibilities of making contact with private land owners.
I've just purchased my first crossbow to hunt the much longer archery season here in the beautiful state of Missouri. Not able to use a compound bow due to shoulder injury and broke back due to auto accident two years ago. Almost 70 but l still love to deer hunt!!!
Keep up the good work you are doing on the videos.
J Earl Bridges thank you for the support and for watching. I too have found that using onX there is so many more areas that I can hunt now that I never knew about. At 70, you’re likely to continue to fill tags and find success! Shoot straight!
Love your channel. Very helpful for us nee hunters. And onx is a must have for so many reasons and really helps new hunters get a little more much need confidence.
The Novice Hunter I am very happy you’re finding the videos useful! OnX really has changed the game and is so useful to build that confidence while out in the field. If you need any topic covered more in depth just give me a shout! Best of luck this season!
Thanks for this tutorial, very good. I am a slow learner. I have learned more from you than anyone els.
Calvin Newton Thanks for the kind words. I am glad you’re getting some use out of it. Give me a shout if you can think of any other videos I should try and record. Good luck this season!
This helped a ton, I'm about to pick up OnX and a hunting license for small game. Thanks bud!
Hey thanks for the kind words. I’m super happy that you found this useful and are getting out there. Best of luck!!
Just bought onX hunt for my GPS. havent been hunting yet. Looking forward to more of these videos.
etheromlet thats awesome! OnX will be a great choice for you and will help you so much. I have done lots of videos on here about it so have fun getting to know the system. Best of luck this year!
Thanks for making Sir/Bro. I feel your excitement. Wife have not allow me to hunt yet but this what I need. I was going to spend $500 plus on Garmin. This just did everything and more. Don't about the long video. There is always some advance who complains on free information but won't make there own.
Keith Koch thanks Keith, definitely keep your money on the Garmin and use a smartphone if possible. OnX changed the game for me. Hopefully you get some chances to get out this season and bring some meat home!
Awesome commentary! So appreciate it!
Happy you’re enjoying it!
Amazing video, thanks!
Clifton Collins Happy to help, Clifton. Good luck this season!
Holy Shit, get to it already!
This was my first go st onX videos. All others that I’ve done since this one are under 5 minutes. Lots to cover in these, thanks for tagging along!
My friend in Billings, Mt. told me about your program to check out. I like the algorithm.
Thanks for tagging along!
thank you so very much for the video... Now I'm ready to sign up for one year one state! so, exited... CitW
Great vid, thank you.
Glad you got use out of it!
awsome video makes figuring out hunting lands simple
Thanks for the compliment, and the support!
Some videos on UA-cam are unnecessarily full of rambling but I disagree with the comments on here stating this is one them. Getting lost in the woods is not fun and this app can be confusing for some so I appreciate you really getting into detail and not assuming we know things. Sub'd
ChrisB10 thank you for the support and kind words! Best of luck this season and shoot the biggest one! ❤️❤️
I just found this video. will be learning from them all if possible. Thank you so much for this tutorial video's. I have been trying to find a GOOD way to learn this program.And yes I have now prescribed to your channel. lol
Hope you can learn a thing or two! Also, if you check out other videos that I’ve published there are more updates that onX has pushed out that you might find useful. Thanks for following along!
@@TheBeginningHunter I saw you have numerous video's on this program. I will be going thru them ALL numerous times. I love the program as i have used it in the field but has so many options. Navigating it is a chore. ( learning) I will be staying alert for more of your video's. I think onX should thank you for your awesome work. Maybe financially?
@@th3hunt3r11 I am happy to help out people that are in the same boat as I was when trying to learn how to use their programs. I hope you can find some awesome public land to fill some tags!
@@TheBeginningHunter I always hunt on public lands. Another reason I wnated this app
I've been using the GPS Chip for a few years now for my Garmin GPS and it's awesome ... if you buy the chip subscription it comes with access to the app as well and then it's only 29.99 a year to upgrade the chip and the app together after that. having the chip is great because your phones battery can't be replenished as easily as carrying some extra AA batteries for your GPS. I was looking in to some solar charing options for the phone though ... that might be a game changer for multi day hunts.
Raevenswood I haven’t used the GPS chip at all, but it would be nice to not have to recharge my phone while in the field and just pack extra batteries if needed. Solar panels would be a huge asset to carry, I just haven’t yet. Those will likely be one of my next purchases!
Thanks you I enjoyed this video
54boiler thanks for the support!
Great video on onx man for real best one I’ve seen everything else is just sponsored ads basically noting as in depth as this
Thank you for the support and the kind words! I am glad you got something out of it!
Thanks bro for this good info
Thanks for following along!
Hi, Really liking your videos! Could you make a playlist for this particular video series?
I have a playlist on my channel all about onX. Currently there are 33 videos for you to watch!
Thanks brotha
Onx Hunt does NOT depict all private lands. I found most of the Klamath River (B6 in California) to be private Indian allotments. Worst opening weekend ever.
I am viewing your videos due to the lack of tutorials for OnX Backcountry.
Your handle is "The Beginning Hunter" and you state right away that it is an intro video. I for one appreciate the extra info that may make the vid's a little longer. Nothing I dislike more than boring videos with no commentary - even if they are very short. I really enjoyed it, keep up the good work.
I really appreciate the positive response. I try to explain something at the beginning level and some view that as taking too long to cover the bases. I am really glad that you enjoyed it, and thanks again for the positivity!
Excellent info, Thank you... I knock on doors but thus is way better....
Hope you can use it to your advantage. Thanks for the support!
@@TheBeginningHunter I will, soon...Hunting Piggys in CALI
@@TheBeginningHunter Does onX also show you dirt road access, Like fire roads , or roads you cannot access? Tks
@@MrRyanmcmahon yep, It’ll show lots of old roads that are decommissioned and not used anymore. We have a lot of those here in OR and onX is great for that!
how often do they update maps. I just got the app and land sold a year ago still shows the previous owner and land boundaries which are no longer correct.
Wow, even this is super helpful. Trying to find public land to shoot on. I can no longer use my old buddies property to train and plink :/
Glad to help! I have a bunch of videos on here for onX so you’ll be a pro when you’re all finished up lol
I have this and thus app is awesome.. it shows the property lines rather it being private or public
chris sheinman it really has changed the way I hunt!
@@TheBeginningHunter same here.. now there is no more guessing
chris sheinman I’m amazed at how much I didn’t know when heading into the field before using it 🤷♂️
I am lost on the green part if I can hunt or not because my map does not show much yellow it mostly shows green
In onx mobile, the double dash line roads, are those public if it goes through a private land?
Ehhh that’s tricky. Technically the double dash lines show an existing road/trail but a lot of ranchers close off the roads. In the past I’ve opened gates to pass through and some ranchers don’t mind, others will shoot you! I’d reccomend checking out the road where the gate crosses the road and see how it’s posted.
Please help me understand the home owner then the secondary owner and then the tax address witch is different in some cases its confusing does the guy own the farm or not?
Great Video, excellent information. Question for you, why do you have be in "airplane Mode" that is the part I do not understand. Thank you Sir,
DW
Don Wenner Sr Thanks for the comment and I’m glad this was useful for you! I use airplane mode to show that OnX can be used with no service. You don’t have to be in airplane mode when using the product but can save maps to your phone for later use. Does that answer your question?
@@TheBeginningHunter Thank you for the answer. I am in Florida planning to expand where I hunt up In Pennsylvania and using this app for Public land "virtual scouting" I bet in some of the areas signal will be poor to non existent, so in that case I will just save the map to the app and use it off line... great info! Again, great video and explanation of this app!
THANK YOU~
Don Wenner Sr you’re welcome! There are a lot of other videos that I’ve done on this app that makes searching new areas very helpful. I use it often to narrow down key areas. Best of luck this season!
I live in the state of Minnesota and we have what they call the walk in access WIAS so will onX show me them also ?
The Amputee Hunter yes it should be on OnX for that area. OnX pulls the data from each county so yes WIAS will be on there!
The Beginning Hunter awesome glad to hear that I’ll be getting that next month that’s for sure
thanks for this..the app isn't that easy so this will help
I agree, I also have a bunch of other videos that dive into even more specifics on how to use the tools that you will probably find very useful! Good luck this season!
Hey bro. I am also in Oregon. I live in Yamhill if you have any clue where that is. I thank you for the video. I am trying to get my first deer this year. Rifle hunted a few years with no luck when I was much younger. Just bought a bow and planning to make it happen this year.
Luke Morter oh yeah I know where that is! I live south of you in Polk County! Lots of opportunity here in Oregon. Where ya heading to bowhunt?
@@TheBeginningHunter here in Yamhill right by my house. A chunk of land that starts up a hill and goes down the hill to the river and crosses it
I am on about 80 acres right up the road from the spot but the woods here are a little too thick for a beginning bow hunter. But this other spot is a chunk of private timber and it's gated and the landowner said I could have it all to myself. I found some really good sign and just put up a trail cam yesterday. Can't wait to check it out
Luke Morter heck yeah, it sounds like you’re already on your way! I’d recommend setting out a salt lick to get the deer to come into your new spot and you’ll get lots of pictures of them!
@@TheBeginningHunter yeah the spot I put the camera is right were about 4 different trails come together. I did buy a salt lick today and I will take it in there when I check the camera. Was gonna hike in there today but figured I better leave the spot alone for a while since I just put up the camera a few days ago. Don't wanna drag too much scent in there. I have been using scent killer but don't wanna invade too much
I hunt the core of Engineers What does it mean When it says About this area.
How do I change my line distance from km, to yards?
You will have to go into the settings and change it there!
Do I need to have a computer to utilise all the basics of onX or, can i do it with just my smart phone?
You can download the app onto iPhone or android. It’s designed to work on a smart phone!
Can the map files be copied to another micro SD card so I can have several kinds of maps on 1 chip loaded on my GPS?
autism vaccine I am not too familiar with the chip limitations or if this is possible. I will reach out to onX and find out!
Here is the response from onX:
“This is not possible, if they try to add anything to the micro SD card it will corrupt it and will no longer work.” I hope this helps!
Narration drug on a little long.... 11 minutes in I finally get the info I'm looking for.
TheTexasMikey I appreciate the feedback Mikey. This was my first video for onX and from the feedback I opted to shoot for under 5 minute videos from now on. I uploaded two more last week, both are related to how to use onX without service and how to save maps. Thanks for the honesty brother and good hunting!
How can this be accurate because public land dimensions change all the time. Please answer this question
Kevin Jones. ??
The information that onX has and publishers on their website is as accurate as the county records. So, as long as public land is accurately represented within that county as far as the boundaries are concerned, the information that you will have on the app will be accurate.
I'm gonna be inheriting an estate, I seen this app on my wife's phone, Is she using it to snoop on my future property ? she's done stuff like that in the past.
Yeshua I’m not sure if she’s snooping or not. It’s a great app to get to learn the property boundaries of your new estate and to determine how many acres it is!
Do you get 5 states with the Elite membership or do you get all 50 states? Online is says all 50.
Tim it’s both, technically, you have to select which 5 states you want loaded onto your account out of the 50 available. You can only have five states worth of maps at one time, but you can change what five states you want at any time. For instance, say you want Colorado, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana so you’d choose those maps and they’d be on your acct. Then, after you finish hunting Colorado, you can go back in and disselect CO and change it to Arizona. Does that make sense?
@@TheBeginningHunter That makes sense. Thanks. I'm thinking about upgrading to the Elite membership. I live in Illinois and there are public hunting areas in Indiana and Kentucky less than an hour from me and areas in Missouri and Tennessee around two hours. onX Maps has definitely been a game changer for me so far.
Tim same for me! I’m looking at expanding to a few other western states other than my home state of Oregon. Looking at Montana and Wyoming but without onX I wouldn’t be nearly as confident in this move. Hope it pans out for you and keep me posted on the upcoming success!
I've been seen your videos. Put i can't seen to work the app...please help me out??
Sure thing. What issues are you having?
Wow you got more public land in that unit than my whole state has. Only 1 million acres of public land in the whole state
Time to move out west! 😃
I am in California where should I hut if u help me
This is the first step! You’re gonna have to spend some time using the program to figure out what kind of public land is around you. Then, you can go and explore and look for animals.
So can I hunt the wmus
With some oddball exceptions, anything that is public land you can hunt in the west. In Oregon, the WMUs are the overall unit, and within that WMU is public and private land.
will this give you your altitude ?
Eloy Garcia yep! It displays altitude on the app as you are on the main map.
Great video and I don't even hunt
lostmarxbro thank you! OnX is a great app even for those that spend any time outdoors. Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the kind words!
Good info but you could have showed us everything important in less than 3 minutes.
V Tach lots to cover in these videos. If you look at my page, almost all of the onX videos since this one have been done in under five minutes! Thanks for following along!
Bill Ayers lots to cover in these. Since recording this last year, I’ve recorded another dozen that are more succinct and done in under 5 minutes 😄👍
@@BopKitBill shut up
Can you do all the units from your cell phone
Don Mohring I don’t know about saving ALL the units but you can save a lot of maps on your phone for whatever state you are in. It all depends on how much storage your phone has on it!
Can’t find my hunting property
#567 here let's go n grow our channels and show! Good detail. I just bought my own property but be nice to mark stands trails etc. Thanks for sharing check us out to! Best wishes hunting 2019
adventure rhoades heck yeah, I’ll check you all out and subscribe for sure! Good luck on that property and I hope you can fill tags for years to come!
Hi
Hey Ev man!
I bout the 14.99 and I don't get all 50 states
In case anyone doesn't know what "unless you have access" means:
On private land you need permission from the land owner or property manager to hunt the property. Additionally, some states require specific tags to hunt private land.
So yellow blm is legal to hunt
Yep, BLM is considered public land and you can hunt it. There are some exceptions, like if the land is landlocked with private land all around you won’t want to trespass private land to get to the BLM.
Do you have a video on how to get permission to hunt private land
9 minutes later...
upsidedown I appreciate the comment and the feedback. This one was the first video I did and have learned a lot since then. Now, start to finish, my instructional videos are no longer than five minutes and I posted a few two weeks ago. Good luck this season!
Great info but man please skip the jib jab!! THe video gave me a VERY IMPORTANT 5 minutes of information spread out through 15 min. Hate to be a negative nance:/
John Welch oh no worries, this was one of my very first videos. All my videos since have been under five minutes 😂
Its pain to listen. Man, just click on the buttons and show us ....
Oil Bama lots to cover for these. I’ve recorded many other videos for onC since this and they’re all under 5 minutes in length. Thanks for following along!
IMO without good cell service this app for me is WORTHLESS! Takes forever to download even 10 mile maps and when you do you have NOTHING OF VALUE! The only good thing is it's only $30.00 so after the first year you can dump it and not have lost very much.
Paul S to download your maps you’ll have a MUCH better experience if you’re connected to Wifi. I’ve used cell service to try and download maps but it does take forever to do, but once connected to Wifi it is sooooo much faster!
@@TheBeginningHunter I do use my WiFi to download maps, still takes 15-20 minutes and they take a lot of storage space So far my cell service doesn't work well where I hunt and changing will be $240.00 more a year.
Paul S that’s a bummer. My download speeds are pretty quick but my internet speed is fast here at my house. I really do hope you can get some use out of onX but even if you don’t I hope you fill some tags this hear!
@@TheBeginningHunter Thanks but I don't hunt deer anymore only birds.
I do appreciate the video, but there was a lot of unnecessary rambling. I skipped through multiple minutes without missing any new information.
Yep, this was literally one of my first videos for onX. All of he ones after it took about 3 minutes to cover the necessary topic. Ya live and learn!
you talk too much
I know, this was one of the very first videos I ever did and it’s long winded. All the videos since are less than 5 minutes 😄
Need to be more grown up, most of your viewers are older than you. Just give us the info and quit the crap, like boom, are you two?
Well, I am three actually. If you look at my other videos they are all under 5 minutes now- straight and to the point. The one that you’re commenting on was my first time diving into these and I didn’t know what I was doing. Thanks for the kind words, though.
Please, I beg you to stop using “Right” at the end of your sentences. Makes you sound unsure. Right?
😁 that comment had me laughing too hard. This was one of my first videos EVER and yep I was unsure what I was doing. Videos have progressed and are MUCH better now. Thanks for the comment though 😄
Well once again another video that that does not show how to use the product it just shows what it does This was supposed to be video for the beginner so lets start a video that starts by clicking on the icon on the phone and what the buttons are, how each button works we need a DAMN user guide not a promo video!!!!
And with all respect your response exemplifies the problem perfectly!!!
Just how many of the "Dozens of other Videos" do I need to search through to find out "how to use the product" ??? As an example I have another retired friend who lives in Michigan, he retired from IT so he is fairly computer literate. I asked him if he ever used ONX on his Western hunting trips?? His response was "No, I could never find out or figure out how to make it work so I gave up and still use the Gazetter,
So here is an Idea for you. Get a hold of a neighbor kid who has never heard of ONX and hand him your phone and tell him to find the nearest city using the ONX APP and do this without saying another word then watch how he fumbles around trying to figure out how it works .....
How about a simple video or user guide entitled "ONX for Dummies" like me who are in our later years but still like to hunt and would still like at least a chance of understanding how the darn system functions screen by screen. I would gladly pay for that vs endless trial and error. I stand by what I said ONX needs a simple user guide. My new outboard comes with a user guide, my new Humminbird Helix comes with a user guide, and my wifes new Honda CRV comes with a user guide. My ONX system, that actually my life may depend on someday, DOES NOT and that is a travesty!!!
Here is an actual example of what I am talking about.
2 days ago my son and I went scouting for Antelope in Cascade County MT. I have a permit for that district. So he had me turn on my ONX System.
He said to touch the Home button. I said where is that and he pointed it out to me. I said STOP where is the manual or user Guide that would tell me what the Home button was and how to use it?? He just had a blank look on his face.
We drove on a little further and he said see the blue dot moving he said it moves with the car. I said STOP how would I know that?? Where is that explained another blank look on his face.
As we drove along further he said see how the area on the left of your phone screen is highlighted. I said yes he said that is state land and is hunt able. I said STOP how would I know that where is the Manual/User Guide that explains that?? no response
A little further down the road he said see the red dots around that parcel of land on the phone?? I said yes he said that is block management land open to hunting. I said STOP how would i know that without a manual/guide telling me that.
A little further he said touch in the middle of that screen to bring up land information for a particular parcel. I said STOP How Would I know to do that without a manual or guide telling me.
In your own video you mention accessing a map or area where no Cell service exists. You say put your phone in AirPlane mode and load the map?? I say STOP ...how would I know to do that without a manual or guide explaining it to me???
What is listed above is an actual encounter I had with my son 3 days ago. What you people need to understand is that there is big difference between telling/showing what an Application Does vs "How it works" or how you make it work.
Your "Beginners Video" can not assume anything!! I and many others have never used phone mapping tools nor do we need to. So in a beginners Video you need to start at the elementary level start by explaining what is on the phone screen when you first click on the icon.
Explain what each and every button does with screen printed examples if necessary.
Explain and show how to zoom in and out using 2 fingers on the screen.
In other words, have the beginners video at the beginners level assuming no mapping/phone savvy experience whatsoever.
That way an individual can learn ONX from the lowest basic level and then he/she can progress to more advanced features as necessary/desired
Well Mark, if you look at the dozens of other videos I’ve done on here you’ll find what you’re looking for. Good luck this season
