Remember you are looking for an individual bed when hunting a mature buck. Sometimes there will be evidence of other beds around his that are usually young (satellite) bucks. Most times after the bachlor groups disperse he will be by himself. Like Duke mentioned mature bucks like heavy cover. I located my 04 bucks bedding spot to a T. I litterally watched him morning after morning go up a 15 foot hill and belly crawlto his spotthen I couldn't see him. I watched him come out of it in the evenings. Like clock work about 20 mins before last shooting light. As the season progressed he started getting back the the bedding spot later and later. From past expierences with bucks in their bedding spot I knew to be paitent and totally quiet until he started comming home later and was more aggressive. Sure enough on an early nov. morning he came home well after sun up. I let out one light grunt as he started up that 15 foot hill and he litterally ran to my spot. 10 yards out looking to kick anyones butt that would dare enter his area. Well a straight down shot just behind the shoulder blades and he fell within thirty yards. You have to look for individual trails and follow them.
