Natural Funnels.

My preference is on a fence-row that braches off a big woods. The deer will follow the fence-row in the morning and the evening to feed so they can have some cover.

Funnels such as inside corners or wooded area's between clear cuts.Any thing that constricts their movement between area's they would naturally travel.
As the season progresses down wind of doe bedding area's is not a bad place to be!
Early season I like to be as close as I can get to buck bedding area's without bumping them.

natural funnels and transition lines. can't hunt over bait here and no farm lands around...nothing like scoring the hard way!

my favorite place is on a hydro line that has a tree plantation on each side of it along with a huge cedar swamp. About 200 yards northeast of the hydro (other side of plantation) there is a huge field. Deer cross the hydro going to the fields in the afternoons and you catch them crossing back over in the mornings.
I can cover about 500yrs worth of the hydro from the positon i have my tree stand.
I always seem to have good luck spotting game there

funnels between feeding and bedding areas

Hunting heavy trails in the woods where the deer are on there way to and from food plots

My favorite place to set up is in a patch of oak trees when the acornsare falling.

I wasn't thinking about that, our woods had tons of oaks and I always try to get into them

In a warm truck near the fence line, light country music,ski, oatmeal pie- oh - just kidding?
