I bumped him off the bench about 4 PM and hunted the next morning out of the same stand I had observed him returning to bed on the bench previously. That morning he came back but the down wind leg of the approach to the bed/bench increased from about 70 yards to about 125 yards. If I had set up trying to kill him in the same general spot he had started to hook into the bed on previous mornings he would have been well downwind before heading for the bed/bench.
Great observation! Thanks for sharing.
