If I would have hunted the beds these bucks were using in the picture, 8 months later I would have been in for some pretty empty hunts.For me to figure out where these bucks bed, takes some knowledge of the area and an understanding of when and where the bucks bed using certain food sources and at certain times of the year. Now if I was thinking about setting up on this field the next year and hunting the beds these bucks were using when the picture was taken, I again would be in for some empty hunts. The crops rotated and the field had zero bucks and the beds were not being used the following year.
The following year the bucks/deer yarded up about 4 miles from this spot on another food source. And this spot was void of deer.Knowing the area you hunt and understanding how things work in the areas you hunt is huge. Another thing to note. If you want to find dropped antlers look for high concentrations of deer(like in the picture) and you will more than likely find some drops.
