How Long???
Went out scouting a few weeks after gun season ended here in Kentucky. After a few hours and finding some awesome sign I believe I found the bed of the buck I had taken during gun season. Once you think you have found a bed like this, how long do you wait before checking to see if another buck has moved in????

If its a great spot to bed, I would expect it to be being used at the same time frame as when you shot your buck again next year. Bucks don't usually wait for a buck to die, OR MOVE, they are using the beds at same time, just not on the same days...

Re: How Long???
Many times more than one buck may use the bed in the first place. When conditions favored bedding there a different buck may well have bedded down. If it was a seasonal bed, used to be near a food source or a doe family, for example, you may have to wait for the conditions to repeat themselves before a buck beds there.
This really isn't a black and white scenario, there are numerous possibilities. Remember that individual bucks often have a number of beds in any given area as well.
