Whitetail Deer HuntingGain a better understanding of the World's most popular big game animal and the techniques that will help you become a better deer hunter.
I don't know if it is consistant in all areas but in the areas where I hunt I find that the deer use the top of the ridges as travel corridors. I suppose that this gives them escape options if spooked.
I was always told hunt valleys and i was told to hunt ridge lines to .Anyway back to hunting valleys i would sit a littlet over half way up a valley that way you could watch both the valley and ridge it work for many of times.
when im on the track of a good buck they always seem to travel the valleys and will swing up onto a ridge to check their wind and watch the back trail then continue headed up the valley/ravine. they almost always take me into a saddle where one mountain range meets another. almost ALWAYS
