Hello, I am new to these forums and have already found tons of info. I have an old pasture field surrounded by woods. The field has grown up to about chest high from lack of livestock.I have found fresh beds all over it. My question is this; do deer usually use the same bed or do they have several different ones? I am asking because I am trying to estimate the number of deer frequenting my property. I have seen 5 or 6 different deer but there are many more beds than that. Thanks for your help.
Sounds exactly like my area. I believe they use the same AREA, but not the exact same spot. Like a bedding area might cover a 1/4 acre area and the deer might bed somewhere in that area 90% of the time. Thats just my opinion though.
