RE: Big Buck's Bedding Area
I would be suprised if he wasn't there in the near future. He was there for a reason. The area offeredcertain things that make a buck feel safe. As soon as he suspects a threat, that's when he'll make his move to relocate. Even then, it may only be a few hundred yards away. I have seen this first hand. Honestly, sometimes people give a buck waaaaay too much credit.
A few years backa buddy and I always took the same trail to our stands before sunrise. These stands wereabout 3/4 mile away. We always took at left at the fork in the logging road. One morning my buddy saw a nice buck, not 15 yds in the thick stuff. He was slowly walking away, neck down like a goose. He must have been watching us every am when we made our daily treck. The very next morning, my buddy went ahead, circled around and watched asI passed by. Same time, same station. Within 20 min, he had the 8 pointer in his sights.
