My guess is that the bedding areas are just over the top of the ridge on private property. There is a tree that hasfallen overthe private fence and thereis allot of tracks and droppings right there coming out of the property.There are multiple trails coming down the hillside, some trails cross through a creek and some trails go around the creek and straight into a grassy valley. If I hunt at the bottom of the hill it gives me about an hour and a half of daylight to work with. In reading this, would you hunt the ridge (where I would have more daylight) or hunt the feeding/drinking areas at the bottom of the hill where I might find even more deer coming from other areas? Unfortunately I couldn't find any returning tracks to hunt in the morning. They must circle around and come up through the private property.[:@]
