RE: Bedding areas
I think it has alot to do with the area your hunting,geographically.
Other area's of the country offer less cover and less available bedding area's.
They bed in different are's around here with the season's too. The don't bed in summer where they do cold of winter from what I have noticed.
Same thing with Turkeys' some guys will tell you the Roost here every night. Not where I am at.
