The deer travelling from one wood lot to another will often pass through the funnel at various times of the day. They often pass rapidly, so you must be ready for a shot at a moment's notice. Most hunters want to be able to hunt as easily as possible. Try expending more time and extra effort to find a more exclusive spot. For example, use waders or a small canoe to access flooded areas, and position yourself in a flooded tree facing the shoreline.
Deer are more likely to be looking for danger inland.
Try setting your stand up 30 yards on either side of a food source along the edge of thick cover. This will give you and your partner 120 yards of coverage when deer decide to come feed. For two days before and three days after a full moon, don't bother to hunt early mornings. After 12 P.M. or so it will be over. Many good bucks are taken during this time frame.
