Sitting below a hill point where I found buck bedding last spring. Hoping to knock one down! Red line is trail coming out of bedding.

Nothing came out. I decided that I had to go see if anything had been bedding there recently. If I blew the spot, oh well. I needed to know if that deer was there or if he is there in a different part of the season. The wind was right, cover was right, but to my surprise no fresh bed. I am now convinced this is a rut spot. Really thick nasty tangle behind him, but couldn’t see too far ahead. I remember in spring you could see to the bottom of the hill. I’m glad to have educated myself more on the spot whether it meant blowing it or not.
There’s no way to know without a shadow of a doubt that he won’t smell you were in there, but if he isn’t around and he doesn’t show for another week or more, he will have NO idea you were in there.
Nice work on getting aggressive and trying to figure it out! Valuable intel right there.
