For those of us who are illiterate about scouting terminology, will you veterans give us a little glossary for clarification purposes? Please add to this list and define in detail:
1. inside corner--
2. saddles-- I kinda have an idea, but I’d like clarification.
3. funnels—Again, clarification.
4. bedding areas—I know what a BA is and what it is for, but how do you identify them? Is it only by seeing matted down grass/weeds?
5. What does a scrape mean to you? What does it tell you? Until this season, I always thought that A buck would make a scrape to mark HIS territory and the HE ALONE would reuse this scrape until the rut was over. I learned that I was completely wrong.
I SECOND THAT and would like to add
6. Draw - Heard the term many times but still unclear. I was watching a hunting video and a guy was 100 yards out in a fieldwatching deer come out of the woods and refered to that as "deer coming out of a draw". So what is and where is the "draw" if deer are just coming out of a featureless and straight forest edge into a field? At the same time I've also seen guys here on the forums say things like "at the top of a draw". See why I'm confused as to what a draw is now? Please explain this as well as clarify what your idea of the stuff in quotes aboveis. Thanks.
