Pictures of Buck Beds

[muskieman]

Within the last year or two I have got more into bed hunting and what not, and finding this site has really peaked my intrest. I guess I have seen what looks like buck beds, such as area that is all matted down and what not. But would like to see some pics if anyone has them what a buck bed looks like. This may have been covered in another topic or post already, if so post the link please.... Thanks guys!

Here are some pics of buck beds I found during previous scouting missions. I like to find the beds and then take a pic of them from a distance so you can really see what to look for. Zoomed in pics of beds with hair in them are cool and I take some of those too but you can't learn a lot from them unless you have an aerial or photo to go with them.

Dewey,
Your 3rd pic down of the actual bed is cool. In the past I came acroos areas that I thought were beds but talked myself out of it becasue I assumed that it would be the size of the actual deers body size. In this case it looks rather big where he has bedded many times in it and matted a large area down. Thaks for posting that pic! By the way did you kill that buck?

Not yet!

Saw him a number of times but just out of bow range. Have a different tree in mind for this season hoping to get closer to his staging area.
