Default Favorite "spot"to hunt

buckeyebuckhntr's thread on what our hunting areas are like got me to post this. Whether you have lots of acreage or smaller parcels, do you have one specific small area or spot of which you consistently see and take more deer?

For example, within the last 10 years I have one specific small wooded area that has produced more deer than any other and in all honesty is the easiest. Easier because most deer traveling to and from the bedding/feeding areas must funnel through this 100 yard wide woods unless they want to be seen in the open. Year after year the same trails are generally used, and in late fall a nearby pasture with cattle provides some end of year grazing for the deer. Its better suited for morning hunting because the east end is used for an afternoon bedding area in late season due to heavy hunting pressure from a large wooded tract and riverbottom also to the east. I also hunt this small area at specific times and its best suited when the wind is from the east or south.
