Favorite Terrain Features for Pre-rut
When going in blind, what terrain features are your favorite to look for during the seeking and chasing phases of the rut? And why?

Re: Favorite Terrain Features for Pre-rut
edges. for me personally, I love setting up on river oxbows at the top and to the side. Cruising bucks just love to cut across these in the AM looking for a ripe doe that went into the oxbow for bedding. But there are so many, inside corners, parallel trails, gully/creek headers in hill country - I like all fo these because in my experience a buck will often forgo a little off wind to hit these "funnels" so they can be easily manipulated to get wind advantage and the bucks are still going to sue them.

Re: Favorite Terrain Features for Pre-rut
Thanks for the feedback so far. I struggle with this time of year. Not that I dont have encounters, I do, they just feel random and I hate that. I want to see deer or cruising bucks on purpose. Know what I'm saying?
