Sometimes transition zones have good food or others time ease of travel to the food maybe half a mile away. Ever noticed some good browse where wide open areas meet thick areas sometimes the best browse is along these edges. Sometime they feed in the open thick cut areas and move in the shade when it is hot or opposite on cold days if sunny. Now setting up on a well worn trail on that transition zone and shooting a deer when they happen to walk that trail on pressured property will make a person think they have an understanding and other times when there is no deer make you one feel stupid. Deer walk a lot. Is the trail a day trail or night trail?
