Recently, we have discussed the four various locations where you could set up your stand when hunting for deer. But there are actually two more best places to deer stand hunt and these are the following:

Benches – the benches are the shelves that are located below the ridge top. This is where most deer feed, bed, and make their scrapes as well. The benches are also the perfect locations especially when the woods already give a hunting pressure to the deer.

Saddles – deer loves to pass through the ridges and this could be the perfect spot for you to set up your stand. During the heavy or peek times of the hunting season, you will be able to hunt for numerous deer here in saddles since they would be using it as their escape route.

Here are the other locations where you could best deer stand hunt.

• 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.
