Favorite Terrain Features

Also in East central Missouri. I love the long, narrow ridges where the power lines are. That and creek crossings.

Eastern Pa here. I look for edges where open timber transitions to thicker brushy areas, especially if it’s a ridge top.

Downwind of a downwind trail adjacent to doe bedding areas from Halloween to Thanksgiving. It’s boring, until it’s not.

My most productive spots have been pinch points between two drainage heads, with one drainage on either side of a main ridge system with the drainages running perpendicular to the ridge. The area on top of the ridge between these two drainages tends to be a saddle as well, and often it will funnel deer into that area. They will still cross the drainages further down the mountain on either side though, so its not a fool-proof method.

I will say that these areas are not always productive year after year. It must be dependent on the food in the surrounding areas. Some years, Ill put a camera in this type of area and will get a lot of really nice deer. The next year, Ill put the camera in the same tree and get practically nothing. The only thing I can think is that the food dries up in that area and they move elsewhere. I try to find similar characteristics in other areas, but its not as common as you might think.
