Default RE: Big Woods hunting

Here in WI where I hunt; we have some big hills...NOT mountains, but you can see what one would call saddles. I've always had my best luck hunting the saddles as deer like "the path of the least resistance". Now, other than the saddles, I've liked any benches or what I call them here anyway...where as you're going some huge hill and it flattens out for a little bit before the incline starts again. If you hunt a saddle or a BENCH that runs around your mountain tops; I would almost bet there will be a scrape line on any bench area you find. Good luck to you as I know how big woods can be, and there seems to be more times than not that are for lack of a better hopeless. Get a good recent photo and topo of the area and many of primary stand locations will be found from those two items alone.
