Default RE: Find The Beds

Deer ALWAYS have more than one bedding area. It is there instinct to change bedding areas all the time. Reason for this is to prevent an ambush of a predetor. Think about it. If you returnedto the same bedding area day after day, leaving your scent at that spot, wouldn' t you think a predator would be there waiting for ya??

Some deer bed in a field, to tell if they do or not, look for grass that have been layed on....It will be flattened and in an oval shape.

In the woods, look for a REAL thick area of bushes or weeds. I usually jump them out thick areas leaving a new hunting area in the middle of the day. Also, if you see deer poop in the area, bedding area is close. Deer only poop in places they are safe, and only bed in a place that is safe aswell, so thats a good sign.

Good Luck!
