i need some guidance on identifying bedding areas....i truely dont understand how to ID such areas...period.

ive seen deer bedded next to a old downed tree in the middle of a hardwoods flat....ive kicked them up outta stuff that i had to crawl through...and everywhere in between ive found beds..hillsides, flats, etc etc...

my areas all have numerous "thick" areas...i seem to have trouble narrowing it down...i can have ideas....but that doesnt help when the list is practically endless....

ive tried going in in the winter after hunting season with snow on the ground to find these areas, but i find they are different all the time and find that after hunting season is different due to the extreme pressure my deer see...alot of our pressured deer bed right in the back yards in the jagur patch behind the houses after rifle season and such and in the thickest, nastiest places we got.....but when unpressured, or lightly pressured, i have no idea where they bed...sure SOME still pick them super nasty areas or right up against the houses...but i find that those spots arent so popular due to them being too thick for deer to easily get to and travel...and farther from feeding etc...

any help on identifying bedding areas?? its the piece of the puzzle i just dont get....and need to get to be more successful and onto more deer....
