Well folks, I have this area in my neck of the woods I just set a stand in this afternoon. I will be hunting it this weekend. Let me see if I can 'spain it to you without a map. To the East is a fairly busy highway that runs due north and south. Running east and west is a draw of woods around 40 yards wide that runs the length of a cut corn field. There is actually a cut corn field to the north and south of this draw. Parts of this "Old Road" are incredibly thick. Anyway, this draw runs about 1/2 mile and makes a 90 degree turn to the south, running along yet another cut corn field. Now, these fields aren't huge, only about 35-40 acres each, but it seems to me that this is a perfect funnel. I have the best access I could hope for. I can slip through a small hay field next to the house, into a small, secluded cow pasture, and pow....pop right into my stand. The perfect wind is predicted for the weekend, so entry will be flawless.
Here's the thing, though. I saw very little deer sign in the Old Road. Not that they aren't there at all, because I know for a fact they use it some. I just would have expected a lot more sign there. Anyway, I am set up in the middle of this thing, where the field necks down so the distance to the woods to the south is closest. (Bad description, I know.....)
But, it is the perfect funnel none the less. Would you guys hunt it, or not? Found a picture....see if it works. I am talking about the small draw on top of the field that looks like a foot. My stand is right where the second blue "X" from the right is.
