Hey Gumby...welcome.
There are a few rules of thought on bedding areas. there are those who say that a dominant buck will prefer to bed in an elevated location with the wind in his face. That's great, but they don't always have this option where I hunt. When I am scouting a new area, I try to find just the opposite. The low lying, usually thicker vegetation to look for beds. The bucks will bed down in this thick stuff (usually a cedar swamp, or briars) They will have several exits and entrances depending on conditions.

Good luck (9 hrs to first light!)
