Newbie's First Try at a Bed Cam

[Jackson Marsh]

I love it when guys put cams on beds, it's always interesting.

Very cool photos.

That's pretty cool to see how they bed up under the log like that. I may have to put out some bed cams this winter just to see what I get. Good stuff!

They can bed looking up or down depending on wind and thermals.

Not sure if everyone saw that comment so I thought I would call it out. I have been seeing this too. Its worth keeping in mind some beds can get used by basically two air current directions....I have also seen 2 beds side by side, an obstruction uphill of one and downhill of the other. Clearly the same thing for rising/falling thermals. I have a camera on a double-buck bed like that right now. Very curious if I can see the thermal switch consistently by watching when the buck gets up and switches.

Great job with the cam, very interesting.

I've never put a camera on a bed on purpose until this year, have not checked that one yet. Last year a set a camera up in a hedge row near a apple tree to get inventory and there turned out to be a pretty well used bed 20 yards in front of the camera that I had not noticed originally, I got pictures of multiple small bucks and a doe using that bed and two p&y class bucks came into that bed in the late morning a couple times, the one day a small buck was in the bed and the mature buck came in and booted that little guy out and laid there about two hours and walked of to presumably bed in the standing corn that was on both sides of the hedgerow.
