Default RE: finding good hunt spots by map

Yes, Pinch point and funnels are essentially the same thing - different lingo is all. Streambeds themselves can be great for a couple reasons. In early season, when it's stil warm, deer need to drink. If that drink is near a bedding area or a feeding source, you're in the money. Also, if the stream is deep enough, deer won't want to cross it just anywhere, they'll search for the shallowest spot. If you can locate that shallow spot where they all cross - you're in the money again. If the stream is all dried up and its just a streambed, you have found a route that can be great for travel, though not as much of an attraction for deer as the other reasons. And a draw is just another term for a dry streambed or wash.
