One of my spots has a textbook bedding area. It's about 200 yards from the edge of an agricultural field, in the middle of a mature woodlot up on a ridge. The woods are pretty dense, but at one spot the trees open up andtheres about a40 yard circle of tall grass (about chin high) that is full of deer beds.

After the season I walked through it and found 6 or 8 different beds (where the grass was knocked down) and their was hair and some droppings nearby. There was also several easily indentifiable trails heading into the bedding area from 2 different directions.

This was an obvious bedding area - when you see it you just KNOW that's where they bed.

Unfortunately, they also bed in many places that just aren't that obvious.
