during the rut!
What is your go to stand location hunting during the rut? Do you like hunting pinch points, bedding areas, ridges, funnels, fense rows, ect during the rut? Just like to know what you prefer! I like to hunt funnels, any where deer have to go through i will be there, also i have had some luck hunting near bedding areas looking for cruising bucks!

It also opens up into a great little staging area.

You have no idea what I would give to have a spot like that, there is not that many trees on my whole property.

At one of my properties I'll be hunting the edge of the bean fields for a while. Once we get closer to the rut I plan on moving about 75-100 yards in the woods on a funnel/ridge that is eat up with rubs and scrapes. The deer come out of the neighboring property (where they be most of the time) and travel the funnel to the bean field. The neighboring property is not hunted and it was clear cut probably 10 years ago so it's a prime bedding area.

Jeff...is it just me or is thatstand sight also at a transition between hardwoods on the left and conifers on the right? Either way it looks like a great travel route.
I shot both my 8 pointers (one from this very tree....7 days before this photo) and one about 40 yds directly in front of wherethis photo was taken.

my go to spot is a huge stand of oak trees. some of these trees take three people to reach around. near an old coal mine shaft. bucks always cruise through it coming from the fields in the morning cause it borders a major doe bedding area.

During the rut i like to hunt a certain ridge in the woods across the roadfrom my house. There was a logging road running across it about 10 years ago, but it has grown up alot since then. There are trails running every witch way and i have my stand up about 20 feet above the deer. I saw a dandy buck walk along it last year but i had my tree stand in a ravine about a 100 yards away [:@]
