Q.Stand Placement & Tactics
What is a travel corridor and how do I find one?
A.
A travel corridor is a route deer use repeatedly between bedding and food, between bedding clusters, or as a north-south path across the property. Corridors typically follow natural cover — creek bottoms, edges of cover-to-open transitions, fence rows, ditches — and show concentrated trail evidence over time.
Identify corridors by walking edge transitions in summer, noting concentrated trails, rubs from prior years, and natural funnels. Cameras on the corridor confirm direction and timing of use.
During rut, corridors that connect doe bedding clusters become buck cruising routes. Stand placement in pinches along the corridor is high-percentage. State rut dates cover timing.
