• Funnel areas – These are the bottleneck areas where the deer is forced to go a narrow place due to obstacles such as rivers, lakes, and even open fields. The whitetail deer is flourishing in these funnel areas especially during the hunting season.
• At their habitat’s edges – More often than not, it is the whitetail deer that is usually seen at the edge habitat. Usually they are staying at the edge of the field and forest. During the night, set up your stand near the edge of the field. This is where they usually feed. But if you want to hunt during day time, set up your stand near the bedding area of the deer. Make sure that you don’t place the stand too close to the bedding area or you would scare the animals away.
