Yep, I remember reading that. The thing is though, the bedding area he was talking about was a small thick strip along a river(if I remeber correctly). The problem I run into down here is that in places we have acres and acres of potential bedding ground, with none being more attractive than the other. That is the challenge of big woods and or South eastern whitetail hunting. Very few funnels, almost no fence rows, draws, etc. Very challenging and much different hunting than the farmland of the midwest.
He does imply that deer have a core area and the importance of finding it. He does this in the same maner. I know of a buck where I hunt that busted me last year and I did do what he suggested as far as finding his escape route. I expect him to do the same next year, but this time his escape route will be guarded. That's the plan anyways.
I also like the way he sets his stands down wind of those areas. Setting canisters 25 yrds. right and left of his stand to stop a buck from catching his scent before he gets down wind of him. I have all but given up on scents, but this has promise.
