It's simple, think of it this way: You are hunting a 10 yd. wide woods patch that's about 20 yds. long that connects two big wood lots. That's what we're talking about

Anything that influences deer travel can be a funnel....... A creek crossing open fields.......... A thick ridge in open hardwoods........... A low spot in a river...... The end of a lake....... And many more.......

OK I totally get how a deer funnel is defined and what one looks like, but it seems that everyone mentions it having something to do with a field. What if your hunting where there are no fields?? Just mountains and hardwood forest. That makes it alittle tougher to identify in my opinion you just have to stumble onto a spot where deer cant or wont travel on each side, but have a strip of flatland or cover or some kind of terrain to make them travel through th middle...right??

Anything that changes deer movement and restricts it to one area. A hole in the fence, a saddle or a bench, a line of thickets in a open hardwood,a low depression, or creek bottom. I once hunted a line of pines that flanked an old logging road coming off a mountain in the middle of hardwoods. The deer poured down it at night prefering the cover of pines to the open woods.

the other way to look at it is, when deer get spooked or when hunting pressure is evident they will use a revine or a finger that juts out into a field to get from pt A to pt B...i am currently hunting a revine that connects to a finger (area of woods that juts out into a field) and you wouldnt believe the deer traffic commin up and down this area, hopefully thats been of some help
