he wasn't around when i kicked the buck out, he was up on the hill looking for mushrooms, thank goodness!!!when came down , he asked what i was taking pictures of , i said nothing and kept walking the bases of his newly growing antlers was about 3-4 inches from what i saw ....hes bedding utilizing this spot with a couple different terrain features ... one, hes almost surrounded by water, so nothing will get to him easily with out him knowing it, two he has a slight ridge behind him causing a thermal affect, and theres also a hiking trail behind him , that people walk on every day all day, hes smelling them all day with the wind over his back looking towards the water , getting that thermal from the water in his face.....theres ONE rub in the bed thats it, i walked that hole perimeter looking for mushrooms and didn't see one rub, until i kicked that buck out, and it was right in its bed....another thing i noticed walking the out skirts of the bedding area is that, the dogwood was eatin down pertty good in just on area... im thinking thats the spot the deer stages, and dosent move far from that area until pretty much dark, witch is very close to the bed....
........so i want to go back a look it over again, and pick out some set up trees and look at it better. If and when, im going to wait until the next rain ..... how long do you guys think i should wait??, should i even go back? what if i kick the deer off the bed again, how do you guys think this will affect the bedding come season?
