I see this some In the woods I hunt. Last year the stand I shot my 140" buck In was a prime example of what your talking about. At least where I am It seems they get to this certain spot and from there on they kind of go where they want. I actually like these areas more, less pin pointing one has to do. It gives you a little freedom on where to put a stand up. It seems when I find area's like this It's close to the edge of a woods (with In 60 yards).
