He saw me, but never ran, I thought the way he was laying was weird too... I went back today to see if there was something wrong wiyth him, and the only sign of him was the bed I saw him in.

Looks like he is bedded with his back to water, and watching in front of him the open field through the brush. Was the wind blowing across the water to him or more through the thick to his back?

That's a classic setup. I have a spot that sets up very similiar for mature bucks in the early Season. Thanks for sharing that with us.
