RE: bedding areas.....
foxhill---alot of the times I find the most active bedding areas in the thick stuff on top of hills or ridges. On alot of the places I hunt, I find they stay high in the thick stuff, looking down at any potential problems....many times they bed on the side of the hill that has alot of sun. This past weekend I went in fairly deep and found a remote pine forest bedding area on top of a ridge--it was absolutely loaded with sign. I had never seen it before because it was so thick but now that the woods are barren I found it...it has gotten me pumped for next year.
