Maybe it's just me...........maybe it's the pressure........maybe it's the land.


All I know is that I can not say FOR SURE where deer will be bedding from one day to the next........and ICERTAINLY can not tell this simply by looking at an aerial photo and/or topo maps.

It's just not that simple (around here anyways)..........god do I wish it was. What I want to know from guys in other areas is..........is it really that cut and dry where you are??

I hear mention of setting up in funnels between doe bedding areas and other guys saying they are gonna sneak right into their bedroom and take a shot at catching them and so on.

It must be the pressure around here because what is a bedding area one day will sit vacant for weeks and you seriously never know where a couple deer might hop up from.

The problem with trying to pinpoint a bedding area around here is you NEVER know what is gonna happen from day to day..........there is NO WAY deer could bed down in the same area day after day during the season or they would all be dead in a week.

We have everything from idiots prancing through every inch of the land.........to dogs........to ATV's and everything else under the sun. I honestly don't think the deer are EVER comfortable enough to stay in the same spot for long.

I have come up on major bedding sites time and time again around here only to see them go unused for weeks after.

Do your deer all really bed in the SAME area day after day??.........I have just never witnessed this sort of predictable behavior around here.


If your deer DO bed in the same spot daily then please include what the pressure is like in your area.
