do you still look for bedding on the outside transition edges of this stuff? or do you look for some type of transition change on the inside? i just circled two areas of taller trees, would that be something you would consider scouting as a potential bedding area?

Oh I see the trails, just wondering their end destination, if they actually find a spot in the middle of all this crap to bed and if so what to look for....most of my scouting has typically been on the outside edge transitions

If I scouted this area I wouldn’t leave until I checked this lone tree in red out.

Looks like a good place to start.
Yes transitions are always a good place to start. They can be hard to see from aerials sometimes but a lot of animals follow transitions

Follow them they probably lead either to beddinv or food sources. The only way you know is if you follow them.
See where they all meet and see if its in proximity of bedding if it is sit it. If not sit it anyway. See what happens you never know

I suspect the images are Google earth images
did you click the historical time line and go back a few years to see clearer images,
sometimes doing this will give you more information on what is going on in an areas

Ditto. Check under all the trees. It really depends how wet it is there too. I've been in really wet swamps that have beds under nearly every tree in a 80 acre lot. If there's buck bedding in the area lone tree tend to be the primary location pending factors like thermals, general predator activity, etc.

Re: where do you look for the bedding in this stuff?
I don't have a computer, so all of my cyber scouting is done on my smartphone. I know that a few people have talked about going back into the Google Earth archives to look at images from different seasons, but my phone won't let me do that. What I have noticed though is if I use Google Maps, it gives me an image where everything is brown instead of green, and it shows game Trails way better than the green maps on Google Earth.

Re: where do you look for the bedding in this stuff?
I circled a few areas that looked interesting. Lone big trees and clumps of brush on edges. It also depends on the direction of travel to food sources.

Re: where do you look for the bedding in this stuff?
thanks for the input.....ive just been mostly staying to the outside edge transitions of stuff like this, going to go scouting here within the next week or two. I was just curious to see how everyone else is examining a chunk of thick stuff like that as far as going in and scouting internal transitions. There are some good bucks on this property and they have to have more hiding places than the few ive found thus far.
