Has anyone ever witnessed a buck pushing or corralling a Doe who is not quite ready but close back to his bedding spot?
I know bucks will push a doe to a very secluded spot to hold her but wasn't sure about actual beds.

I'm sure they do, I see plenty of rutting action in buck bedding areas, sometimes that is the only place they want to be during shooting hours.

In my experience a buck and a doe will sequester up in out of the way spots away from other deer period. The old boy knows where to go and sometimes the does knows where to go. I killed a buck in 04 that was leading a doe. Not often, but bucks don't always push.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.
