Why, Where and How to Find Buck Deer in Funnels
Day 5: Habitat Changes That Create Funnels Deer Use
 Once you locate deer feeding on agriculture, often you can identify the main trail leading into that agricultural field. Generally, many hunters will put their tree stands there. However, if you'll follow that main trail back into the woods, you may pinpoint a place where two or three trails come together, perhaps at a creek crossing or some other type of funnel. If you put your tree stand within range of your bow or your gun at a creek crossing or where those trails come together, you often may see three times as many deer, which will improve dramatically your chances of bagging a really-nice buck.
 To locate a funnel easily, look at an aerial photo of the land you hunt, or fly-over that land in an airplane. Then you quickly and easily can spot habitat changes that create funnels and scout those areas for deer tracks and trails which will enable you to …
* concentrate deer movement;
* enable you to get the most deer within range; and
* provide places where you most likely will see deer at this time of the year.
The more funnels you pinpoint on the property you hunt, and the more you learn about when, how and where to hunt those funnels, the more success you'll have hunting deer throughout the entire deer season.
