Awesome thread, wanted to bump this up in relation to the one I had just recently started. One thing I am not certain of is would the direction of the food source make much difference in relation to the where the buck would bed? I would think that like any living creature, especially an older one like a mature buck, that they will seek to expend the least amount of energy possible, especially early season, while also bedding in the most secure location. In early season when it is hot, if not highly pressured, would they tend to bed in a way that sacrifices security in favor of expending less energy, i.e., less of a walk or an easier walk to an ag field or does security and wind detection almost always trump everything else? I say almost always because i know there are no certainties in mature buck hunting.
