And I don't disagree. But, if we can produce an appealing bedding area, haven't we helped put the odds in our favor again? In a 24 hour day, how many hours of that would you suspect are spent in a bedding area? 75? And, if we can produce a really good DOE bedding area......and strategically place stands downwind of that.....would that be an awesome place to hunt come the rut? I don't know for sure, but it seems that it would.
I definetly agree that feeding areas will certainly congregate the deer to a certain place. I've hunted over food plots, and they're sweet places to be for sure. My only point was, the main reason bedding doesn't get the attention is because of the money. Today's culture is all about self preservation, and increasing the sale. In short, MAKE MORE MONEY. But that's a discussion for a different day. I digress.
Edit: WOW! I just read this after I posted it, and the tone of that did NOT come across the way I wanted it to. I'm questioning in an effort to learn, not questioning you, as it were. If that makes sense.
