Inside creek corners same as rivers?

Unread postby Shady Grove » Sun Aug 14, 2016 4:14 am

I have heard it discussed the inside and outside corners of a river bend are often a good spot to find deer bedding and/or pinch points of travel. Would you say the inside or outside corner of a creek bend would have the same effect on travel and bedding as a river? The river in my neck of the woods is not that deep or wide in spots - easy to cross. The creeks are smaller obviously but tend to have thick hardwoods and the pine trees are harvested right up to the hardwood edge in both areas. I was wondering if anyone had any experience hunting creeks and rivers and could share some insight? Thanks!

The river will create edge... so the answer is maybe. Depends on cover, location, and hunting pressure
