Back to my old stomping grounds! Bedding thoughts?
curious to what you beasts think about this area, i know a good deal about it and have taken quite a few deer off of it but nothing worthy of a slob. i can hunt anywhere inside the red area and outside it is a state park where the majority of the deer bed, they even utilize the small islands for bedding

Re: Back to my old stomping grounds! Bedding thoughts?
I marked up your pic showing potential buck bedding. I also marked some potential bedding off of your grounds. Not sure where your "park" borders are, but walking thru the beds on the grounds to West of your property a few times a year, and especially before hunting your ground, would get those bucks to likely bed on your property once bumped. Especially on a West wind.

Dan, I'm curious as to why you chose spots that are at lower elevations on those points. I would have guessed the beds to be higher up. Any insight? Thanks.

Looking back at my marks, some of them might be a little low.
But they don't bed at the top, they bed right where the ridge starts to drop off the steepest. Thats the point where the thermal current and the wind meet forming the thermal tunnel

Gotcha. Any reason some of the points on his land were omitted? Always looking for ways to filter out the good spots from the not so good. This is good stuff.

After that last question and looking at the map again, I think maybe I figured out that you are looking at the points that really drop off more than the more gradually sloping points?

Re: Back to my old stomping grounds! Bedding thoughts?
Sorry it's been so long getting back dan, new house, kids and work is killing me. I scouted almost all of the spots and hit one of them this past week and one of them held a small 6pt. Which I let walk. There isn't much sign yet in rubs or scrapes yet and Most of the areas I checked I could not find "beds". I found what I would consider a couple core areas with 5-10 rubs in a 100 yard radius. Here is another picture that maybe you can pick apart. If you look at the green and just picture straight lines that is pretty much my boundaries along road and river
