I have read and have been told that one key to scouting and hunting a big buck is to FIND HIS BEDDING AREA. All the years that I have hunted, I have never, to my knowledge found such an area. I have found beds in the snow, etc. But I beleive that they were doe bedding areas. I have never found areas where there are all kinds of rubs all over the place. Here in NH, in the area that I hunt, there are extensive mountain ranges and there are no farms, just woods and an occational residental property. There are some clear cuts of 10 to 20 acres...There are acorns and beachnuts everywhere. There are very thick areas (over-grown clear cuts) and there are extensive mature pine plots. It seems that deer could bed/eat anywhere they want. Should I even be looking for bedding areas, or just look for funnels and hunt the rut only?? Any advise for this average everyday hunter???
