Deer Hunting Funnels & Pinchpoints

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Deer hunting pinchpoints and funnels us a critical hunting strategy. In fact, is there ever a time that you should not be hunting a pinchpoint or a funnel? Hunting a big buck cruising funnel is my favorite deer hunting tactic! Here is the how, what, when, where and why for hunting one of deer hunting most easily predicted buck patterns...a deer funnel.
How should you design your own land so that you can create highly predictable mature buck movements? Check out my latest web class:
www.whitetailhabitatsolutions...
Once you scout and are ready to hunt the perfect buck funnel, the weather should determine when you actually head to the woods! Make sure that you are following my weather forecast deer hunting predictions wherever you hunt. Check out HuntCast, at:

    My girlfriend's family has a nice 93 acre property. The upper part is pines, hardwood/young growth below, and a big ag field to the left. The deer the come down from the pines and hug the woods along the ag field. The corner of the pines/wood is deer highway and it's great hunting!

    So where I’m hunting at, I have open/overgrown field, hard woods with River, and then clear cut about 60 yards through the hard woods. Would this be a funnel type to add in a stand location? Open land is on one side of the area loggers couldn’t cut due to natural spring/creek running straight through heading to the river

    Jeff, what is your thoughts of placing a vertical licking branch on PUBLIC LANDS (big woods) in one of these funnels or pinch points? I’ve watched probably 100 or so of your incredibly educational videos and don’t recall ANY mentioning placing a vertical licking branch on public lands. I’d really like to know your thoughts on this because I’m a big public land hunter.

    Unrelated deer question for you. I planted an acre of iron and clay peas about a month ago. Great growth and great looking, however the deer arent touching it. This is the first ever planting of iron and clay peas in at least 2100 acres of my land and unused county land next to me. Not sure the deer know they can eat it. Should i just put some corn or something out for them to get them in the peas?
