RE: Describe your hunting area
My favorite spot is a funnel that leads to a field that the deer browse in. The deer bed on top of the hill then make there way down between the houses to a fairly open oak flat. There is a stream that concentrates the deer movement in one direction. Although they sometimes cross it, I have my stand positioned so I can still have a shot opportunity. The deer use this area as a little staging area before heading out to the field.
About 100 yards away is another excellent stand site where there is a fence that pushes deer movement to one corner and there is a number of trails beat into the ground.
The only problem is this year all of the bucks, but a smallish 7 point have been coming out to the field from the opposite side. I'm working on them though.
