I very rarely hunt destinations anymore, even if I am targeting does. Every once in a while I will, if I know they are using it heavily. I used to hunt destinations most of the time, and since I've stopped that, I see, and kill, more deer.

I hunt travel corridors, almost exclusively. I'm still learning which are being used by does and which by bucks, and obviously sometimes by both. I've honestly gotten to the point where I can look at a topo map of ground I've never set foot on and put myself in good position. Do I kill 'em every time, or even have a shot every time? No. But it's been HIGHLY effective.

A fellow HNI'er told me....DON'T HUNT THE SIGN!! That's where they've been, not where they will be. Well, I don't always know where they will be, but I do know how to recognize terrain features they will use to get there.
