Default RE: huntin whitetail deer in the mountains

Justin I huntthe mountians ofnorth Alabama and southern Tennessee ... I like to look for funnels such as openings in the big rocks where the deer move through to get from bench to bench ... I also like to hunt saddles ... I will hunt high in the morning beacuse the thermals will be rising with the heat and the deer will be coming high to bedand low in the evening because the thermals will be falling as it cools off and they will be coming low to stage andhead to the fields... I also like to hunt a bench on the elevated part of the mountain because the acorns will generally fall earlier because of the sun ...I like to finda persimmon tree or two to hunt early in themorning because deer like to munch on then while thier cool ...you alsoneed to really practice scent control to the max because of all the swirlling wind ...when you start to your stand the wind may be in your face but by the time you get climbed it will be at your back ... good luck to ya !
