I really appreciate you taking the time out to explain this in simple term. Most people explain how to read a map, but some people don't understand the jargon. Your visual explanation nailed it. THANK YOU.

I know this might be stupid but maybe a video on exactly how to position yourself to hunt each one of these terrain features. I can recognize them but I struggle knowing how to position myself

Being a fairly new deer hunter I appreciate your breakdown. I found your video and explanation very helpful. I’m trying to learn to hunt these hills in Ohio.

Man, great breakdown on terrain features. Clearly explained. I’m new and this is exactly what I needed. A video on how to hunt each of these would be awesome as well. Subscribed.

You should make a video on how you would set up on per wind direction and where you think the deer are and will be traveling and how you would hunt these these features access and exit also thanks in advance

Great video. I've heard these terrain feature terms used and described many times, but something about the way it was explained and visualized in this video made it click for me. Your tips on how to hunt these features was the icing on the cake. I got on OnX while watching your video and looked for all the TFs you mentioned in the locations that I hunt and marked them so I can check them out this season. Good stuff!

Enjoyed the breakdown. <br>Ive seen many bucks use low thermal drainages morning and evening. The cool mornings keep that thermal dropping until about 8.30 when the suns heat creates that rise. Ive been busted several times hunting low thermal hubs in the mornings bucks definitly to love them. <br><br>My best buck to date was in a hub the buck went down to drink water at 3pm in 90 degree heat. He is likely 150s never scored him came off the point into the low hub my thermal rise pulled up one of the other slopes. <br><br>Saddles sadly aren't great places too hunt anymore since all the hype about saddles in the 90s magazines they have been heavily overhunted ever since.

Excellent breakdown! You answered more of my questions in 16 minutes than most long form podcasts have. I can't wait to apply this knowledge here in north central Kentucky.

Mate I LOVE your visuals and your straightforward explanations. This is a fantastic guide that helps summarize a lot of less clearly explained content out there. Well done and thank you
