Identifying narrow lanes or pinch points in these travel lanes will greatly increase your encounters with the buck you are looking for.

Some tips on hunting funnels & pinch points:
1 – Funnels pinch deer down into small areas of cover. This can give you a better chance of getting a shot at them.
2 – Bucks cruise between bedding areas and food sources. If you can find these areas to pinch down in between, they can be good, go-to spots.
3 – Look for terrain features that create these funnels – such as where the timber runs down to a river or creek & pinches down.
