Today's podcast focuses on identifying pinch points. They are certainly more sought after in hunting strategies revolving around the rut, but pinch points can also provide value in locating deer movement from bedding to feeding. Pinch points or funnels can take one of several major forms: Terrain, Vegetation, Water, and man made pinch points.

During the podcast, I talk about specific examples of pinch points for each of those categories, how deer might use them, and also how to find them through either topo maps, aerial imagery, or boots-on-the-ground scouting.
