Do you Beast Style hunt?

[Buck snort]

I'm talking about the true definition of Beast Style hunting:. Going out scouting, finding a buck bed ( not just a general area where bucks bed), and then later, hunting season, setting up on that buck bed, hoping he's there that day.

Don't know as I agree with that definition of being "True Beast Hunting"..... I think it's more then one tactic so for that reason I voted no.

I kind of agree with Dave... Not just that its more than one tactic, but also that in most cases your hunting a bedding area, not a bed, or suspected bedding.

Hmmm, maybe I'm all wet on this one then. I thought that's how this forum was started, going out finding buck beds, and then setting up on them later, to kill that target buck using that bed.

I guess I'm lost then. I thought that's what your early 2 videos was all about. Finding a bed, and later setting up on it?

Its about hunting and being close to bedding... I think in most cases its more a bedding area than a single bed "bed"...

The better question might be "how many have shot deer by setting up on bedding? a lot of the time there are a lot of beds in a 1/4 acre area that could be holding the target buck and your on the exit for all of them...

This would be my definition of Beast Style hunting too.

Guess I have been doing it wrong all these years.

My definition is using past and current knowledge of known and presumed bedding to execute the kill

My definition is to be fully mobile and adaptable to changing conditions by scouting out, locating, and slipping in on mature bucks where they live. Or something like that

I hunt bedding areas or suspected bedding areas nearly 100% of all my hunts. Very rarely single beds. Rut doe, bedding, pre rut, buck bedding.

My best tactic is when the exit involves a staging food source that is 75yds from a bed.

I can agree with that. Pretty much the same thing with a bit more detail. I still do focus on single beds though more often than not.

Interesting topic. The buck I have my radar on this year is not bedding for the most part on the property I can hunt. I do know where he comes from sometimes. So if I set up for this buck and kill him is this Beast style?
I had to vote no by your definition.

I think the term Beast Style has morphed in my mind to mean hunting in an educated manor. There are many different terrains. Knowing how to hunt those terrains correctly would be Beast Style. For me alot of it centers on known beds.. Other times its bedding areas in general. Other times it may be secure food sources close to bedding. I feel it all starts with bedding but doesnt end there.

In evenings, for the most part, I set up and hunt staging areas more then I do the bed itself.... but you seldom find one without the other. Mornings I hunt approaches to bedding areas. Rut I focus on funnels and dowwind of doe bedding..... but I'm always adapting to where the sign leads me..... does that qualify or disqualify me??? Not important..... does it put me on the deer I'm after.... that's what's important to me.
