How I Create Cheap Easy Pinch Points and How I Hunt Them

My favorite area to hunt are by far pinch points and deer funnels. In this video I explain how to easily create your own pinch point utilizing a man made deer funnel for extremely cheap.

Thanks, you too!

Im fixing to start working on some deer fennels at my property. I wanted to hinge cut some trees along the trail to add so food and some cover. How spread out should i place these so i dont turn it into a cattle shoot? Thanks for info and vid. Love the channel.

That depends a lot on how thick your current habitat is. On my SE WI property I'm right on a creek/marsh area so the deer are used to being in some pretty thick cover all of the time so much so I probably could get away with a cattle shoot but on my NW WI property, I have a lot of mature woods so in that case I side a lot more on making those perpendicular barricades very long but spacing them fairly far apart. It all depends on the specific terrain but think of it as if you were driving a car really fast through the area - you can make slight turns but no sharp turns so just make sure you're blocking off every slight turn but leave the sharp turns open. Leaving the trail itself open as well of course. The deer typically won't take the sharp turns unless they need to escape. You can always monitor and adjust if they are jumping off the trail at a certain point.

Thanks for the reply. I'm in the pineywoods of East tx. Lots of green trees caps but nothing on ground level as food goes. Lots of woods and vines. Cover is fair. I won't go crazy as hinge cuts and will go at a nice flow for the funnel. No sharp turns. Just finished my poor man's 2 weeks ago. Deer started grazing it yesterday. Thanks again for the videos. Keep it up!

What are the pretty blue blossoms on the green trail you showed. Deer resistant plant?

[@HobbyHarvest]

@@thebadboo4875 That's Dame's Rocket. It's actually an invasive. Clearing out more of the invasive species is still on my long to-do list.

I have nought but steep geography 😀

[@HobbyHarvest]

That can actually make this whole process easier. Just look to where the deer are naturally using the topography and just enhance it a little more or block off routes you don't want them to take and it will put them right in a pinch point in front of you.

​@@HobbyHarvest I have 300 meters (900 feet) incline at 45 degrees or steeper. Most of it is covered in 12-20 feet tall deciduous trees. We have mostly red deer and some roe deer here. I am very very fortunate and have the seasonal movement going through here - and two glens where I can see the deer.
I will for sure do some work at the top of theses glens to funnel the deer where there is a clear shot 🙂
Not intending to be negative - only describing the situation my place here in Norway.
