What does the word mean as it relates to the deer woods? I would assume a "transition" is one habitat type changing to another, such as a fence row separating corn field from beans, or the line between woods and field. But I often hear "transition" or "transition zone" or "transition area" used like it means some kind of zone where deer step into so they can transition from one place to another as if it's a bus station or they're teleporting or something. Why not just call it a travel corridor or trail? And it seems to almost be exclusive to video, not written word. Every habitat improvement and deer hunting video on Youtube throws that word around but so many of them use it in different ways that I'm pretty sure they don't understand it, either. It's just a catchy word to say. Never in my life until recent years did I hear that word come up in a deer hunting conversation. The deer aren't gender confused. They're not transitioning. They're not redirecting electrical current in my radio. So what the heck does it mean?

Someone is bored that deer season is over and rather triggered, why don't you transition over to turkey hunting! -Speedwell

Bored? Maybe. Triggered? Not hardly. Just making goofy conversation. I once read that while using the internet, the best way to get the correct info is by posting the wrong info. It works!

Correct me if I'm wrong Ski, but I think he was just commenting and poking fun at all the YouTube-hunting-hero wannabees who latch on to the latest hunting show catchphrase.

Oh my, if I misread it I'm terribly sorry, Speedwell. I was just being goofy and didn't understand why you thought I was upset. My sense of humor is lacking at times 😣

No Ski, I was say YOU were just poking fun. For some reason Speedwell seemed to take umbrance with that.

Oh I gotcha. Whew, I thought I was losing it because I still didn't understand lol. That's what I thought I saw, too.

Well I still apologize if I ruffled anybodys feathers. I wasn't being serious or poking at anybody.
