Country artist Jordan Rowe tells you the WHY behind his reasoning for locating a pinchpoint on a buck he saw last season. The best trail cameras for deer hunting mean nothing if you cannot think through where to put them. In this deer hunting video, Jordan Rowe will talk you through a simple scenario on how to use pinchpoints or "funnels" to locate big bucks.

So where we're at right now is a spot. It's basically very unique. It's a little drain. There's a creek that runs right here and you can't really see it because there's so many leaves still on the tree, but there's a very steep ridge right there across the creek. I mean, very steep.
And I'd never hunted this part of the farm until last year. And I saw an area right over there that was tore up with scrapes, hung a trail camera, sure enough, going in here. But I didn't really hunt him too hard. It's probably a four year old and he's going to be a giant this year.
So the plan is, and I will tell you, I like to say why I'm doing something. I don't care to kill 200-inch deer on camera. I want to know why you're sitting there, and why I'm sitting here is because right behind me, the woods are a lot wider by that creek. And right here behind me, where I'm sitting, is where it's pinched down. And it's only about 15, 20 yards wide right there between the field and the creek. So that gets me really tight to that deer. If he's traveling through here, it narrows things down.
So if you're a hunter thinking about narrow things down, where does he get pinched in really tight to you? So that's why we're putting the camera here. That's where I'm going to be sitting. And if it's up to me, this is going to be the last fall he's cruising this creek line.
