I have asked questions in the past about this swamp spot and you guys have all been great so here is another. I have never really hunted a deer bed before and thought that I have seen some, and maybe they were but on this new swamp spot I have found a deer bedroom! In this swamp I thought that most of the action was in a thicket area and toward the back half. Found good trails, lots of rubs and some nice scrapes. But one day when walking out I seen deer come out of the front half where I thought it was underwater but it is clear full of this stuff that is like cattails, but is about eight to ten feet tall and has a different head on it. Well I get to where the deer came out and I find a small hidden trail. Walk in the trail about ten yards and find a nice size island, about forty yards wide and sixty yards deep, still full of this grassy stuff, just not under water. Then on this I find four big major areas in there where the deer have worn the ground down bare, and lots of tracks and such, you can see the ovals in the dirt where they lay. Here is the problem, I realized I am walking within twenty yards of this place every time I go hunting here and the deer probably watch me walk down the tracks and go in. This first trail is off the tracks, no trees, no brush, nothing. And hunting off the tracks is becoming a no no in my area and the RR has been reporting rabbit hunters so I can not set up there. I think I found another area where they go in, good size trail, but theonly goodtree is within thirty yards of the beds and am afraid that when I go in they will spot me and not come out or run away from seeing me or hearing me. I guess my question is how close can you hunt to a bedding area and be safe to not spook them? Thanks guys!!
