I was reading this article about scouting/hunting deer in forest environments and would like clarification on what drainages are. Here's the context/quote from the article:
I'm inclined to think a drainage is an area where water drains, which would mean cuts or ravines I guess? Or in laymans terms, dips in a downhill slope? But then I think, "If that's the case, why didn't he just say cuts/ravines instead of drainages in the first place?"
Thoughts anyone?
We’d also learned whitetails are “drainage” creatures, preferring to associate their activities linearly along drainages. No matter how pronounced or subtle the drainage, deer use is higher in such areas than elsewhere. Each drainage has at least one doe social group (clan) living mostly adjacent to it.
