RE: Are we going about this all wrong?
Equally important as bedding areas, are to leave these areas alone as in sanctuary, never go in there. Youcan fell some trees tight, preferably in a thick and swampy area, maybe transplant some fast-growing cover brush, but once set up and working ,DO NOT ENTER the area! But you have to have a large enough parcel. Remeber also, that if you blow it in the bedding area the game is over. I personally would prefer staging areas near food.
