Marsh or general bedding exit direction

Unread postby johndeere506 » Sun Aug 23, 2015 5:54 am

If you have a marsh buck bed 50 yards out, and he exits towards corn normally which is closest, what happens when that corn field changes to dead brown wheat for the first time in 10 years rather than corn? This year the corn is opposite direction, and 400 yards away. Will he go that way instead and cross the entire marsh? Or will the bed go dead?

When hunting marsh beds do you use a wind safe for you or just barely safe for you making him more comfortable?

The buck may still bed there, and still travel the same direction. No way of knowing without scouting or hunting. The corn may or may not be the food source he prefers in that direction, its just the obvious one to a hunter. He might exit out the back, might exit the same, or might not be there...
