I have been scouting my hunting area which is about 2,000 acres every week since
December. I found the best funnel that I have ever seen way back in the timber on Friday. There are 2 cliffs that really narrow the deer down so they have to cross through the funnel that I found. Also the acorns are spotty this year and for some reason they really hit well in this funnel. Their was some deer sign in the funnel on Friday but nothing unusual. Well I returned on Sunday to hang my stand and between Friday and Sunday 20 rubs showed up in this funnel. I was pumped to say the least. And before I could get the stand hung and leave the funnel 2 P&Y bucks came through the funnel while I was hanging the stand. One of them was a tall tined 8-pointer. The other was a wide 10-pointer that I have a trail cam photo of. He would have walked right under my tree if he hadn't smelled me standing at the bottom of it. It is still 3 weeks till our bow opener here in West Virgina so hopefully that will give the area enough time to settle back down.
Below is the picture of the buck that would have walked right under my stand:
