How close is to close to bedding
Whats up guys I'm a new member and new to the sport of hunting. I have been putting in alot of time scouting here in MA and have followed some deer runs looking for stand locations but have ended up walking right up on deer beds. The deer were not there but im sure my scent remained after I left. Did I go to far and will I have pushed the deer out? How close is to close to set up near bedding. The woods are thick and no open feilds. So I am trying to hunt the paths from bedding to feeding, but I dont know how to exactly make out the feeding area. I think they are mostly eating acorns. How close should I set up my treestands this august.
Thanks
Jim
