I think.

Upon setting stands in WV last weekend, I found a ridge point/funnel that I had overlooked for 20 years. It seemed unhuntable until I studied it. I have killed bucks there with a gun, but never saw a way to bowhunt it.

It is on the end of an oak flat...(upon which the wind ALWAYS swirls) which is a natural funnel for deer because of the "dramatic" hillsides in 3 directions. The flat actually comes to a higher point, that has some big oak trees on it. The higher point allows me to be beyond where the deer cross, and well above their travel routes as they will be coming slightly uphill when traveling on one of the bagillion trails that are there.

Add in my 20' of stand height with their lower elevation, and I'll have to fall out for them to smell me.

I can see it now...7am on opening day I'll get busted for the first time...LOL

It's funny how you can hunt a property for years and years and just disover such an area.
