Default RE: what does it all mean

River bottoms are the flat areas in close proximity to a river that is usually also thick in vegetation and holds deer, or you can find crossings in them. The funnels refer to any area that is shaped like an hour glass center where the deer are forced to come through a close proximity that can be easily hunted. It can be where 2 ridges intersect, where a hardwood bottom narrows, while surrounded on both sides by pines or any other thick type of cover, or a place where 2 fields meet and are also surrounded by the same type of thick cover, An opening in the woods, wherer a fence exists that now is down in a small openng is anothe rtype of funnel. There are more of course, but hopefullythis will give you an idea of where to begin. Manytimes thes places will not contain a lot of sign, mainly because the deer are traveling through rather than spending time feeding or bedding. The best locations for these will be between the bedding and feeding areas, and may be an evening or morning stand based onwhethr they are coming to or from the bedding, feeding scenario.
