Found a bed today after thinking of where everyone hunts and going to a spot no one really goes into. Funny thing is it took me 5 minutes to find it in the snow. Don't think it's a big buck but probably a 1 or 2 yr old. Had a buddy with me who I gave one of the DVDs to and even he could see why the buck was there. He doesn't even deer hunt yet. Thanks for this site it's going to really help me out. Buck was bedded on a the end of a small ridge where he could look down towards the road and see us coming and use the wind to smell anyone from the other direction. He's also protected by a pond on one side.

Re: Found buck bed today
Sounds like a spot a mature buck may utilize. Just cause you found a small bed there now doesn't mean a big buck wont use it when he is in the area. I found one that sounds a lot like this only it was a big bed. He can watch everyone that walks in from the parking lot on the man made trail and he uses the wind to cover his backside. Good find

Nice find! Were you able to find a tree and entrance to hunt the bed?

Looks like you are headed in the right direction.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Re: Found buck bed today
It's a real eye opener when you can sit in a bed and see what they see Hope you were able to formulate a plan of attack?

Re: Found buck bed today
Yup I got a plan but I got to figure out where he is coming from. They like to cross the road nearby from a small swampy bedding area and ag fields or he could be entering early from ag fields to the west. If he's going ears I might be sitting real close to the road
