Aerial Pinch Point Questions
Hey guys, so I am new to aerial scouting, and I have this property, well multiple properties lumped together I have access on. I am trying to pick out some pinch points to potentially hunt this fall during late october / early november. I have marked them on OnX with a black waypoint. Do you guys agree with what I marked, or would you mark something differently? I have outlined my permission properties in yellow.
Thanks in advance for any help. If you could point out anything else, feel free to do so as well! I hunt in an area with mostly older gun / typical field edge stands. I dont know of anyone who hunts the way that yinz do on this form, so the spots, no matter how basic, I think would hold bucks.

Re: Aerial Pinch Point Questions
I like the waypoint furthest NW.
Also look for bucks to cut right across some of those smaller fields if it is the straightest path between doe bedding areas or two chunks of good habitat. Or they will cross the fields in low spots.
But as far as the tree line and inside corner funnels, your waypoints are good.

No Shortcuts. No Excuses. No Regrets.

Re: Aerial Pinch Point Questions
I could not tell what you have permission on as the lines don't connect. However, on the bottom farm I see a point jutting to the west that would be a classic farm buck bedding point where a mature buck could watch the farm house. I would probably check it out. There are a lot of good funnels you have many of them identified. All inside corners will most likely have a parallel trail cutting through them. Looks like a great area with plenty of potential early season and rut stands.

The ones with the lines I have coming marked off them?

Yeah I was hoping someone would maybe point out some potential bedding spots. I am okay with identifying the easy funnels, but finding buck bedding from just a map I still really don't understand.

Look at your last picture, there is a beautiful pinch point right between two fence/wood lines - the buck can watch the farm and monitor does using the fence line to access crops. I would almost bet my paycheck their is good bedding along that point as long as it is not being harassed too much.

Im not sure I am understanding where you're saying. Do you mean right where the black waypoint I dropped is?

Re: Aerial Pinch Point Questions
Sorry I cannot post pics anymore - way too complicated process for this old fart. If you look at your bottom pic, find your most southern waypoint - start walking due west across the pasture, you will come to a point that rises north out of the wood line and points to the west and looks right at the farm house. Check that point out.

Marked below in blue, is what you mean. Correct?

Re: Aerial Pinch Point Questions
not really a pinch, just looks to me like a great potential buck bedding area

Yes. Exactly. Especially the one on the left.

I looked at his place on ONX and that looks like a point on his photo but that is actually a ravine. Pretty much all the woods shown in his huntable area is lower in elevation than the ag fields that surround it.
