RE: Favorite Placenames?
1. my favorite is the "Killing Tree" (a tree that was stumbled into by accident)the deer come by for no particular rhyme or reason but they consistently come by this tree
2. the "bermuda triangle" a group of three trees roughly a hundred yards apart that make a triangle (once deer enter the triangle they never leave)
3. the "barren straights" an old fence row (30 yards wide) that runs between two agricultural fields (the deer use it religously as a travel corridor rather than walking the fields)
5. "west point" the farthest point to the west that you can drive on a particular refuge (you walk due west from there and there is an area where two large sloughs almost come together making an excellent funnel
6. "automatic" it's a place in the bottoms a couple of hundred yards from a river with absolutely no distinguishing charcteristics that I can decipher. If you hunt the "automatic" seeing deer is automatic and killing one is a good possibility (it didn't get that name for no reason)

Of course there is the "honey hole" (doesn't everybody have a spot named that). we have a couple of different "honey holes". The most noteable one is a big honey suckle patch that I found late in the seaon a couple of years ago. The deer normally don't get there until late in the year when all the other grren stuff is gone, but when they do it's game on! The first time I found it, there was about 100 piles of crap in a 30 yard circle with about half of them being big clumps that I assiciate with buck crap. Nedless to say, after a couple of weeks of hunting the patch was affectionately referred to as the "honey hole". they other is a turkey hotspot on a refuge north of my home that has consistently provided red hot turkey action going on 15 years.

"Febies Crotch" (a deep dark pine ravine) It's been called that for many many years I was told.
"The Terd Bowl" A bedding aria shapped like a bowl. Walk in there and all your doing is stirring the terd bowl.
