I guess you could look at it like that, but for me , a funnel has to have some type of pinch point that forces deer movement into a restricted area which increases your odds of getting a shot at them. Rather than taking your chances by setting up at some random point on a general trail with no pinch points or funnels. You know, " I set up in a funnel between two bedding areas." vs. " I set up on a trail between two bedding areas." The funnel is what makes it happen.
