Hey guys, wanted to get some input on some land and possible bedding areas. This area is real swampy. The area marked as camera is bordered by swamp on both sides (I do have a camera there, I'll get into that in a bit). So the swamps haven't had any water in them until this week, now I have to cross 20 yards of swamp at about knee deep (I don't mind). So that area is like a funnel now. I went in to check my camera today which I put on a heavily worked scrape with plenty of green rubs around 2 weeks ago. I've got multiple shooters in daylight morning times. BUT. While I was creeping a long the hardwood island and got to my camera, I bent down and opened my camera, heard some brush move and saw one of the shooters I have on cam at about 35 yards through the hard woods. He trotted for 10 yards, stopped, and then I lost sight of him. Never heard him blow. I swiped my card and hurried out of there as quietly as possible. I'll go hunt this area probably after a week or so, kinda let it calm back down. What areas would you think these bucks could be bedded, I've got a 130-140inch 9 pointer in daylight activity. He hit the camera 4 out of 14 days it was out at 8:30am. The other bucks are probably around 110-130 (Shooters for me) and have been more consistent. Give me some input!
Hope to stick him or another in the morning.
