Beds

So I was wondering how close some of you have found your mature buck beds to each other. I know this will vary depending on food, cover terrain and other variables but some ideas would be great.

That is a really tough if not impossible question to answer. It has a lot to do with time of year. Bucks will bed side by side both early and late season, but generally separate during rut. And even after separation, its going to matter how much bedding is available per the number of mature deer. I have even seen mature bucks bed right next to each other on a few rare occasions in the rut, but in this case one has obviously taken dominance over the other.

I guess the next question is when two points have a lot in common as far as good cover an elevation what would separate one from the other in the same general area no human pressure either.

The main factor would be promenent wind direction in relation to bedding, next would be distance to main food, water, or does.
