During the course of the season what spot do you rely on most or is it a combination of spots? The edge ofa big soybean or corn field, a hidden food plot in the woods, an oak ridge, a trail, a funnel, watering hole...etc... Howand when do you hunt them?Is it mainly a morning stand or evening stand, is it good for one or two hunts a season or is it good all season long. I am just trying to get an idea of how to hunt these types areas (on my own land), so that I can become a better hunter. Thanks for any info.

I myself like hunting logging roads which have acorns that leads to either a soybean or corn field especially during bow season. Then once gun season comess in I consentrate on scrapes, either the mock scrapes Ive made or scrapes a buck makes. Then I take over the bucks scrape and try to drive him nuts thinking theres a dominant buck intruding on his territory...

One of my favorite early season spots for the morning or evening is a secluded pond about 30 yrds inside of a woods. To the NE the woods is very thinck and the field to the east is extremely grown up. Its great for anytype of warm weather.

Another one is about a 30 yrd wide strip of timber that runs N to S for about 100 yrds long and on the W and E sides is really brushy fields, and i mean briers and weeds and ceders. Perfect for a good buck to stage before hittin the bigger fields. This can be good all year long, usually an all day sit during late oct. and nov.

I also like any type of steep banked creeks, easy access and limited crossing points.

Just a few of mine.

My favorite spot is where I am sitting at any given time. [&:] LOL...actually, while that is partially true, I have one spot I really enjoy hunting. It's an inside corner, and while I don't see deer there every sit, I have seen bucks there every year for the last 3. We're not gonna go into why I haven't shot one, I just can't handle those memories right now...[&:][&o]

Though I don't always see deer, I see plenty of other critters to keep me occupied. I just love that spot.

If I told ya, I would have to kill ya ..... just kidding.
I have more tthan one favorite spot , theres a couple up north and couple around here where I live.
The one that I like the most and have taken more deer out of is what I call Dead Does Point.
This area is loaded with oak trees and has a lake on one side and a marsh or bog on the other.

I've got one favorite spot.....but I'm going to hunt it differently, this year.

It's the spot where all of my trail cam pictures have come from. It's a 1 acre open field (maybe 20 sparsely spaced pines) that's in the middle of the woods. Last year.....I hunted there mornings and evenings. I never saw a buck in the evenings, there......so I'm only going to hunt the mornings.......until ....well.....you know.

A funnel through an old CRP field to which I added a food plot to this year. I call this my honey hole and you can read last years season as well as about adding the food plot on my HNI journals if you wish at this link: http://www.huntingnet.com/fieldjournal/fieldjournal.aspx?id=58

Currently its a travel corridor that separates some bedding areas. Bucks cruise it during the seek phase checking for does.

I likje to hunt on the edge of bedding area's in the bush,just before the rut begin's .
