Yeah I tend to carry photocopies too. I'll have a black and white copy on which I make notes about where I find sign or feed etc. Back home I'll add this to a map of the hunting area after each successive trip and so build up a picture of the animals habits, the hot spots soon become apparent season by season.
As well as this I'll either tote the full map or more commonly several laminated A4 size colour photo copies [which are easier to keep handy in my shirt pocket and less of a hassle to open out to use].
