Help me out on this new property

Unread postby admiral04 » Sat Feb 02, 2013 1:09 am

Just wondered if everyone could help me out. Tomorrow i will be stepping foot on this property for the first time. This is a 1200+ acre gamelands thats is wet and thick with some farms lands along the edges. I have to believe there some good buck bedding there due to its lack of pressure because of the wet and thickness of it. "Beast style" or bed hunting is new to me but i really want to learn it. Any potential bedding, stand sites, funnels and tips would really help me out and explanations of why so i can better understand if i do find the sign there when i scout it. Thnx ahead of time, i really appreciate it. Image Image

Hard to see that 1st pic without being able to zoom. On the second pic, I marked the interior transitions I would walk with a blue line, I marked the best looking areas in red.

The areas marked in red are "thick transitions" or "transition areas" The blue line goes down a transition "line".

The thicker areas have better bedding, with better escape. They are normally off of points or bends in the transition line. If you get out there and walk the spots I marked, the reasons will become apparent. You will generally find primary bedding in these areas (marked in red).
