Post your buck bed pics!

I found some more beds the other day in the "Kettles" . Here they are . These beds had rubs all over the place. They were 100 yds apart and along a river on a point on the outside of a bend on the river.

I find it interesting and a big headache that most buck beds are
1. hard to locate
2. without a rub inside the bed or very close how do you really determine it is buck bedding besides the fact its a lone bed
3. it seems all these pictures are great for the buck and seem impossible for the hunter to hunt without being detected long before they get close..?

A nice bed from yesterday. Lots of hair in bed too.

went out scouting, pretty sure I found some beds but being rookie I am not sure if they are buck or does.


found rubs but as can be see it looks like the grass is matted down all around the beds which I thought was more indicative of does


found what I believe to be a large track any guesses doe or buck?

That is what I have noticed too. The 2 bed pics I found are so thick you cant walk. You cant even see any which way there. It is close to a canoeable river but that is th eonly way to get there quietly. I have noticed that up north they seem to sit on a little bit of a high spot , inbetween a few fallen trees overlooking an area. I imagine I have to sit a few hundred yds away, otherwise he will detect me.

FWIW a dollar bill folded in half is 3" long. Here a legal buck has to have a minimum of 3" of antler measured on one side from the antler burr. I was taught that when I first started hunting so I could make sure that I put the right tag on the deer. Obviously that isn't the case here but the same will apply to measuring a track.
