Pretty good advice here. We hunt the bedding areas but its off the sides of them on the access trails to them. Finding them heading in or coming out. Don't go into them or let your scent blow into them.

New spots are new and require butt in a stand or portable turkey chair to see what they do. You go look at it and you think you know and the deer sneak up behind you and you find your stand is facing the wrong way. "butt in the seat" teaches way more than 10 game cameras can.
