Trails....where the lay of the land makes them travel a certain route (ie funnel).

Another big vote for "TRAILS"

RE: Which would you rather hunt?
 

It depends on the type of season. Here in Iowa early in the season the best place to be is on heavily traveled trails. Most of the big bucks are in the corn and you need to get between where they are bedding and the corn. Alot of the big boys lay in the corn though. When the rut hits, it is good to hunt close to rubs and scrapes that appear to be freshened on a daily basis. NOT RIGHT ON TOP OF THEM THOUGH!

I try to hunt intersecting trail as well. I usually see alot more deer.

RE: Which would you rather hunt?
 

Would have to agree...Trails, unless its hot rut then wherever the does are!

Another vote for trails. Paricularly about 100 feet in the woods from corn/bean field on intersecting ridgelines under a white oak tree in the first part of November during the first quarter of a new moon. Not hard to do,eh? Oh yeah, don't forget the wind!

D) staging areas

RE: Which would you rather hunt?
 

Too many variables. What time of year? What environment?

All else equal, I will take rublines leading to a thick cutover.

RE: Which would you rather hunt?
 

A rubline is a trail

scrapes are a sucker's bet. Although I did shoot my largest whitetail over a scrape

RE: Which would you rather hunt?
 

Tough one, it depends on too many what if's.......if it was the rut i would hunt scrapes, and rub lines, early season i would hunt trails.
