However, in the oddball situation where one has neither but the spot is a dynamite travel corridor, THAT may merit leaving it as is, to make entry & exit while hunting easier, and with less impact (deer spooking)
And another thing regarding my spot….I wish I had less bedding areas. There are too few areas that I can get into without the increased potential of spooking a deer out. Too much of a good thing I guess.
ABSOLUTEY valid points. In reality.....when I say I "wish" I could hunt them in the parks system (the 230 acres I often elude to).....it's probably best that I can't.
That's a situation I see a lot around here. We have a lot of grapevine and other tangles that grow up the trees that create dense cover. Eventually what happens is these vines will bring down some of the canopy which opens the door to the multiflora rose and other thick underbrush. Obviously these areas are great bedding area and they seem to be everywhere. There is one spot that I have that has a bunch of soybean fields surrounded on all sides by this cover. So I have to determine from the wind where I think the deer will be bedded and hope that I'm right to hunt it, because since the whole area is a potential bedding area I could kick up deer no matter how I got in.
