Young Cedar Thicket Bedding

Unread postby dkoy85 » Thu Jan 29, 2015 3:07 am

G'day fellas! I'll be hunting Delaware again this year, but this time on a different piece of public land. Looks very flat with young pine thickets dispersed throughout. It looks like an awesome area and very thick. Anybody have any experience with cedar thickets? How do the deer use these areas to bed? Thanks!

They are a doe magnet around here. Try to find out how they filter out to feed.

Magnets in Midwest too, especially in hill country. Cedar thicket are relatively localized in the southern Midwest while large cedar forest/swamps are more common in the northern Midwest. How big is your thicket?

Cedar thickets are great deer areas. Lot of times I like to lay down and look through the bottoms. See deer quite often this way. Deer can see you walking but you can't see them.
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.

I'm hoping to get out in the next couple weekends and put some boot leather on the ground. I'll be taking my tape measure and a bunch of pictures... see if I can make sense of it all. The biggest problem is, is that there are a lot of pine plantations and the land is VERY flat. Never hunted anything this flat. Be very interested in watching a DVD on how to locate buck beds and hunt flat land bucks *Hint hint Dan!*
