Narrow funnel connecting 2 or more large tracts is one that comes to mind!

I like many features, but it's hard to beat cuts in the bluff line at the top of the mountain where deer travel up and down the mountain.

Man, I used to be able to hunt a spot like that. There was deer sign galore at the top just as the cut opened up onto a ridge. Always a ton of sign in that area, but I was too young and dumb to make the most of it, as it was a good hour walk thru the gulf and up the other side to get to it, and that was just too far in the dark for me at the time! Skeered!

When your looking for a spot to hang a stand which terrain feature seems to work best for you.
My favorite terrain feature is a descending secondary point dropping down and away from a high ridge-top. And if possible, a "knob" on a ridgeline from which multiple secondary points drop away.

Although this isn't the perfect example (the map was made for an article on a different topic) the pinkish-red areas on the map are secondary points. For whatever reason, I find deer like using secondary points much more than primary points (points that are the terminal end of a ridgeline). And if I can find a spot where several secondary points descend from nearly the same spot on a ridgeline, I know I've got a hot-spot. In fact, I will try to create "highly preferred" habitat (food plot or thick cover) in these locations to enhance their use by deer.
