I was thinking the same thing. I stay out of those areas unless I have to go in after a deer I've hit.

Did this guy know he was in a bedding area? Is he new to the sport? It seems to me he either didn't know any better or the guy was trying to get a step up on you. either way it sucks. Hopefully with some guidance in the future he'll be more respectful and use a bit of common scense.

For the record IMO there is nothing wrong with a stand 60 yards away if the two setups don't interfere with each other. Dead smack in the middle of a bedding area dosn't fit that description though.
