Bedding help

Farm country but some decent elevation on this property. I belive there should be good bedding on the west side of the river.

From the topo, These are the spots I would suspect bedding... The one farthest North looks awesome at least from the topo.

Id have to agree with the tight bend in the river that Dan marked up on the topo, but I base that off the aerial. Deer there have food/water/cover/escape route.

Hey thanks guys! This i just a piece of 6,000 acres of public im going to try to hunt this year. Never hunted public before but its no different than having other guys hunt the private land I got too. Probaly will use a boat also to access deep in there. Going out tomorrow to scout it!

Check the sharp bends for bedding spots. I have hunted a couple properties much like that one, and the deer bedded right next to the creek on the sharper bends.
