RE: Bedding Deer
I think Jimmy S got it dead on... All to often I have found deer beeded in the tall grass in set out pines or laid up right next to a brushpile, on the side of a hill in a fresh cut-over... I don't think it has to be thick at all, it's all about getting away from the elements and feeling secure... Those deer in the tall grass know they can't been seen and that deer against that brushpile knows it's got plenty of cover behind it to prevent it from being detected... They are much more inteligent animals than many give them credit for...
