I like hunting natural funnels. Got permission to hunt a new 25 acres with in a mile of my house, which is nice if I get up late and can't get the 15 miles to my property.So I scouted it out, put a tree stand up. Hunted a couple mornings and nothing. So weekend came hunted at night, first night was 20 mph winds, 2 does came out. Next night a nice little 4 point came in at 6 yards and I shwacked him. He did not have a huge rack, but was a 150 pound deer dressed. I switched to hunting natural funnels about 95 percent of the time, and my buck sightings have skyrocketed. If you have a natural funnel hunt it, sometimes it may one be a night time stand or a day time stand.

It's odd to read everyone's experiences so far.  My season has been crazy nuts with all the deer I've seen.  I've just opened my back door in the garage and there is a 7 pointer trailing a doe on the lawn.  The buck was 30 feet from me and didn't care all all.  It's been really good for me so far.

I by no means am giving up just reporting on how slow its been this year , did a tiny still hunt this morning from one of stands found some huge fresh rubs and buck tracks so picked up shop and moved the stand 150 yards to the north, to an intersection of soybean field,thick swamp and open cedars, looks to be a good seek and chase spot, spot where bucks can cruise around but still be in "safe" cover, did have a deer run by at mock 90 at 6:55 this morning never got a look at what it was , todays hunt has showed me the most signed all season hopefully things are turning around,

Hope it was worth it and pays out. Moving a stand in the middle of the season and approaching prime time no less would only be a last resort for me. Not to be a dick but sounds like you may have needed some more preseason scouting.

We were seeing a lot of deer early in season but this last week nobody has seen any of them. I dunno what's going on.
