Late for bed.
I went into a tiny woodlot at midday on Wednesday to put up a camera that I intended to let run for the rest of the season. While in there I bumped this buck off his bed. He didn't really see me. Just kind of heard me and trotted off. I could see exactly where he had been bedded and it was in a spot that was fairly easy for me to access as it was only 50 or so yards off of a country road. I knew it was a long shot but without actually going any closer to the bed I picked a tree downwind and off to the side where I figured he would move through to scent check the bed if he in fact came back. Yesterday I had the same wind/conditions so I went in VERY early with a stand on my back. For once it all went to plan. He came in directly upwind of the bed but as soon as he got downwind of it he turned 180 and walked right into the bed. He didn't give me a great shot and now as he was standing in the bed I began to get concerned that if he laid down I was going to be pinned to that tree for the rest of the day. Fortunately he decided to step back out of the bed and nose around a little more. He gave me a great shot and I got an arrow in him. He went about 70 yards or so.
