Deer Hunting Travel Zones
Deer Hunting Tips- A travel zone is an area that connects a bedding area to a food source area. They will at times provide a safer set up than deer hunting food or bedding areas. They often allow for easier access by the hunter which reduces the chances of being detected by the deer.
Locating
The simplest way to locate travel zones is to first find the current food sources or bedding areas. Work your way back from these areas to find the travel zones. Try to find places that have several intersecting trails that come together that head back to either the beds or feeding spots. These such areas offer good deer hunting travel zone set ups.
Buck Sign
Also look for any buck activity such as early rubs or scrapes. This type of sign will help pinpoint a set up location. Don’t be overly alarmed if such sign is not observed. Not all areas will have it. This does not that the bucks are not using these areas.
Terrain
The terrain will also help influence travel zones. There may be creeks, funnels, ridges, ditches or other terrain that is preferred by bucks. Any type of terrain that narrowly controls possible deer movement should be considered. Remember that deer will take advantage of easy access routes. Make note of such findings as they are often deciding factors as the best locations for deer hunting.
Use these deer hunting tips for selecting travel zone set ups. Remember to adjust for the wind and use proper scent control. Be safe and good luck.
