Communication is, however, an underrated difficulty when glassing with a partner or reviewing a session\u2019s findings back at the truck. If you\u2019ve ever <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tractoptics.com\/binoculars-for-turkey-hunting\/\" title=\"Binoculars for Turkey Hunting\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"710\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hunted<\/a> with a guide or someone who is very knowledgeable on the terrain, they\u2019ve likely called out animals using definitions that are unfamiliar. You\u2019re not alone. Understanding these 16 terms can help you become more effective communicating with your <a title=\"How to Transport Meat Home From Your Hunt\" href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/blog\/how-to-transport-meat-home-from-your-hunt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hunting partner both afield and at home<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basin\"><\/span><b>Basin<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A basin is a large, bowl-like structure. Often between multiple ridges, it is the large confluence where several ridges drain. Ridges empty into basins, and basins empty into valleys.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bench\"><\/span><b>Bench<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A bench is a narrow strip of terracing terrain on the side of a slope. As a ridge drains into a basin, a bench is a flat relief along the slope of the ridge. Benches are wonderful locations to find game.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bluff\"><\/span><b>Bluff<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A bluff is a steep face. Smaller than a cliff but larger than a rock outcropping, a bluff is a promontory face on the end or edge of a hillside or ridge.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Box_Canyon\"><\/span><b>Box Canyon<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Box canyons are narrow canyons with steep walls. Often no more than 15 or 20 feet wide, box canyons can be great <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/best-places-to-see-wildlife-in-the-usa-this-summer\/\">travel<\/a> routes for both game and <a title=\"30mm vs 1 Inch Rifle Scope\" href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/blog\/30mm-vs-1-inch-rifle-scope\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hunters<\/a> moving on game. Beware. Flash flood risk is high.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Butte\"><\/span><b>Butte<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Derived from the French word meaning knoll, buttes are isolated hills with steep vertical sides. They are typically easy to identify because they do stand alone on the western plains. Unlike mesas, buttes look more like a thumb sticking up out of the earth.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Coulee\"><\/span><b>Coulee<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Deeper than a wash but shallower than a ravine, coulees are steep-walled but not excessively deep. They catch runoff from surrounding terrain but don\u2019t necessarily contain dry creek beds.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Meadow\"><\/span><b>Meadow<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A meadow is a grassy break in an otherwise timbered area &#8211; the smaller version of a park. Often close to the security of timber, meadows are popular areas to find foraging game at sunrise and sunset.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mesa\"><\/span><b>Mesa<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mesas are flattop mountains. Often jutting in solitude from the ground, mesas have steep sides. \u201cMesa\u201d is Spanish for \u201ctable,\u201d and the structure takes such an appearance. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mesas resemble small, lone plateaus.<\/span><\/p><figure id=\"attachment_2037\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2037\" style=\"width: 681px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2037\" title=\"The Ultimate Glassing &#038; Terrain Glossary\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tractoptics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Tract-Texas-Lifestyle-3813-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The Ultimate Glassing &#038; Terrain Glossary\" width=\"681\" height=\"455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/Tract-Texas-Lifestyle-3813-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/Tract-Texas-Lifestyle-3813-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/Tract-Texas-Lifestyle-3813-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/Tract-Texas-Lifestyle-3813-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/Tract-Texas-Lifestyle-3813-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/Tract-Texas-Lifestyle-3813-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/Tract-Texas-Lifestyle-3813-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/Tract-Texas-Lifestyle-3813-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2037\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Ultimate Glassing Terrain Glossary<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><a title=\"Texas Feral Hog Hunting\" href=\"https:\/\/tractoptics.com\/blog\/texas-feral-hog-hunting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hunting the Mesas in Texas<\/a> has proven to be very successful over the years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Park\"><\/span><b>Park<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A park is a large meadow often found in the bottom of basins and valleys. Often flat, parks offer an expanse of grassland and often running water or seeps for game to water.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plateau\"><\/span><b>Plateau<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A plateau is an expansive mesa. The tops of plateaus are generally flat with the sides being steep and eroded. A plateau is a flat, secluded plain surrounded by bluffs and ravines.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ravine\"><\/span><b>Ravine<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A ravine is a small gorge. Generally eroded from flowing water or runoff, ravines differ from bluffs by being less steep and with an \u201copposite side.\u201d Generally, both sides are of similar height and slope.<\/span><\/p><figure id=\"attachment_2039\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2039\" style=\"width: 682px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2039\" title=\"The Ultimate Glassing Terrain Glossary\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tractoptics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/ravine-1024x601.png\" alt=\"What is a Meat Hunter\" width=\"682\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/ravine-1024x601.png 1024w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/ravine-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/ravine-768x451.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/ravine-511x300.png 511w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/ravine-150x88.png 150w, https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2021\/12\/ravine.png 1156w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2039\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Ultimate Glassing Terrain Glossary<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Generally in a ravine, both sides are of similar height and slope and are excellent places to find game.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ridge\"><\/span><b>Ridge<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A ridge is a connected peak of surrounding slopes. Ridges branch from peaks to create \u201cfingers\u201d on a mountain or series of high spots. Ridges are the running tops of slopes that empty into basins or valleys.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Saddle\"><\/span><b>Saddle<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Saddles are breaks in ridges. Different from a ravine or canyon, a saddle is not a termination of a ridge but merely a depression in a ridge that continues the ridges path. Saddles are great crossings for game.<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Seep\"><\/span><b>Seep<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A seep is a small stream or pool that forms from the earth or slight runoff. Seeps are often omitted from maps due to their small <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tract-optics.co.za\/tag\/nature\/\">nature<\/a>. Seeps can resemble a combination of a stream and a bog.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Slide\"><\/span><b>Slide<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A slide is anywhere on a slope where falling rock, snow, or other material has scarred the slope face. Where an avalanche creates a slide, it is instead referred to as a \u201cchute.\u201d<\/span><\/p><h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wash\"><\/span><b>Wash<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A wash is a wide, dry streambed or a wide, dry gulley. A wash may not be overly steep or tall on the sides. If it were, it would be a coulee.
