Default RE: Killing/seeing deer in the middle of the day...

Not only can I not tell the difference between doe and buck bedding areas, I can't even pinpoint exact bedding areas, LOL (other than one specific little woodlot in IL). For me, it is more of a general thing that specific parts of the ground I stay out of, because I see deer going into them in the mornings/out in the eve's. It makes it even harder when I see so many early season bucks coming to feed right with other deer. The biggest early season buck I ever saw was in that first midday hunt I described in the acorn flat. He was a super wide and big deer, and stood there sucking up acornsamongst 13 other deer for about 30 minutes. I just happened to be about 30 yards too far, LOL.

The theory he presents may be right on, but for me, planning and hunting around when deer want to move (based on my earlier post) is more productive. I wish I could narrow it down enough to be able to capitolize on that kind of separation.
