Klemz, that's all the pictures that had deer in them. I noticed I didn't get a single deer picture til July 6th. Maybe has something to do with lack of rain and my scent?
Scent would be my guess on those beds.

What I learned from these pictures:
From the pictures I can see the beds. With that amount of wear, I would have assumed day beds of satellite bucks and would of likely figured a primary bed at the tip of that point into the field. But, with rubs, tracks, and camera pic's from in the field, I may have hunted that spot assuming daytime bedding...
The more we get pictures and intel about what goes on in these bedding areas, the better we will get as hunters.
Its important not to shut our minds down and just say we failed to get daytime bed pictures... Look at the big picture and learn from what the pictures we did get provide.

July 9th is the first picture posted, it took two weeks for them to use the bed after you set the cam. After that they used it pretty regular.
Did you look back at wind directions on the daylight pics to see if there is a pattern?
I know there are not any bedded bucks on the daylight photos, but with the camera set for one pic and five minute delay I would think it could have missed them. Almost every bedded night pic was actually triggered because a second deer was moving near the bedded deer.
If these are only night beds that is very intruiging. The plot watcher time lapse cameras would not have detected this because they dont work at night.
