Bucks don't alwasy bed in the exact asme spot, where they bed is often dependent on the weather. One day they bed in the shade, another day they be din the sun (if it is cold). They often like to bed withe wwind at theif back, so they can smell what is behind them amd see ane hear what is in front of them.

Since they bed in different areas on different days, their daytime care area (where they spend the day bedding) can be from a few acres to a hundred acres or more.

Gnerally they have a lightly used trail, with rubs on 1-2 inch trees along the trail, that tells you where they travel, one trail in that they use in the morning, amd one trail they use in the evening.

You should not setup where you found the buck, because you will spook it out of the are,. Better to find the rub route trail it uses, and set up along it, at least 50 yards awy form the core area, so you dot spook the uck, but still hve a ahcne to see it during daylight hours.
