So I had to drive thru southern iowa up I-35, ride actually to get a vehicle. So it's not very green out, I could not believe the number of deer bedded on points, 75 yards from the interstate. I would see the doe groups and the occasional single.
Pretty crafty.

Re: Deer bedding near highways
So far I've scouted twice this year, and found some of the best bedding sign close to the roads. Im going around tomorrow and see what I can find in another area. First thing Im going to check is the first 150 yards from the highway on certain terrain such as points of spurs, depressions, maybe a ridgeline, wherever. In Marsh Bucks, Dan explains how he found a bed belonging to a big buck close to a road near a parking area, and not to far off a beaten path made by hunters. Im a big fan of checking these type of areas now.

Re: Deer bedding near highways
I have one particular bed I have been watching for many years now where deer bed about 50 yards right off the freeway. Drive past everyday on my way to work and with a west or northwest wind the bed is used on a regular basis. When the leaves are gone or especially if there is snow on the ground are when I can see the best.
The worst part is this is located on private land that I cannot get permission to hunt!
