The holy grail of funnels!! PAYS OFF!!! Pg2!
« on: September 14, 2017, 09:27:00 AM »
I just found the holy grail of funnels!! I've been hunting this section of public ground for 4-5 seasons now and have overlooked this spot dozens of times. There is a creek and a river that creates a natural funnel about 75-100 yrds wide that's separates two very large tracks of hardwood bottoms. About 1000 acres on each side. The creeks are deep and wide enough that I very rarely have seen any crossings. There are 2 major  trails on each apposing bank just inside the timber. I can access the north side for a south wind from the creek with about a 2.5 mile boat ride and  the south side for a north wind with about a 2 mile hike. Provided the creek doesn't flood , in which case it would be about a 4+ mile hike to access from a different location.  No recent sign of anyone being in this location. Big plus!!
I'm going back Saturday to place som trail cams and see what's actually going down!!
Come on November!!!!!!

And your guide fees are.....?

Of course, I'd need a bow to be able to bowhunt. I seem to have misplaced mine.    ;)

That's awesome.  Sounds like the right spot for sure. So I'm guessing if you kill one 2 miles back in the woods your gonna quarter it and pack it out ??

I'm glad. You'd need back surgery after dragging one two miles. Lol. I'm fortunate that I can get my 4 wheeler and ropes to anything I kill.

No atvs allowed on this particular place. Which cuts WAY down on human activity. Most people are to lazy!!
And I can always access the river to retrieve my game if need be.

I know a strong guy with a big pack to help get dead deer out of the backwoods. Think of your poor back!

I am gonna guess you can get by with way less than a 2 mile hike if you just boat up that creek to a reasonable point.  Drag the deer to the creek and float it out.
