I am new to the sport of bowhunting, and as such have been doing alot of reading on the subject of deer behavior and hunting tactics. One problem I have been having is with the names of certain terrrain features. What exactly do names such as these mean?
coulee
draw
cut over
hog' s back
Thanks

When I lived in the Mojave Desert I commonly heard the the term " coulee," also called a " gulch," is primarily a western term and is (coulee) what we refer to in the Midwest as a " ravine."

A " draw" is technically the same as a " coulee" or " ravine." Usually a dry river or creek bed.

A " cutover" is a term generally used to describe areas that have been cleared of trees, vegetation, etc. I have not heard that term used for eons. May still be a common regional term.

A " hogback" is a narrow line of hills or ridges. I heard it used in the west, but I heard the term used more in the south in the hills and mountain areas I hunted in the past.

" Thanks" is a term used to express appreciation.

The easiest route would be to " cutover" the " hogsback" at the " saddle" to get to the " draw" and if you have a " coulee" carry your gear be sure to give him a big " THANKS" .[:-][:-]
