Questions about a bedding area?

Unread postby Robert » Wed Apr 01, 2015 3:29 am

I will upload a photo for you all to look at. The area circled in black is about 8 acres of poison sumac and marsh grass, in the middle of a VERY thick tamarack and cedar swamp. The red dots are a few cedar trees that are in the sumac patch, under the 4 trees to the south was a bed with hair in it and rubs by each bed. It is very wet back in this patch, each tree is a little high spot. The question I have is do you think its a lone buck using it or do you think that does are back here too? I have kicked does up in the grass but there is a doe bedding area on the north side of the black circle, were I consistently kick up does. This is the land that I own. We shot a 11 pointer with a drop tine and a 12 pointer with a double main beam back in this patch actually on the same day. So what do you guys think?

My guess is there are doe using the 8 ac as well, but there likely on the transition. A buck or bucks are more likely using the few cedars for bedding.

In photobucket click on the bottom link with IMG beside it. Then paste that link in your post.

Ill pass on guessing on the buck bed as im just learning the ropes of bed hunting but in a swamp i hunt there are deer bedding on or near those raised tree bases but once the water freezes up around them i tend to think they move off into different areas as now their safe haven surrounded by water is a easily accessible travel route for humans and predators once it freezes over
