Default Found a good bedding area today

Found a good bedding area about 20 acres in size, there were beds all over the place. This is one of the many trails which lead into the thicket from the hardwoods.

This is one of the large rubs which I found leading into the area. I hung my keys on it to reference size.

Also got into some seed ticks, for those who haven't seen them, here they are. All the brown specks are tiny ticks, I had at least a thousand of these little boogers on me.

Interesting spot except for the ticks. Good luck with it this fall.

Neat find.

So whats your plan of attack? How far away you gonna set up? Is there a funnel or transition between bedding and major food source?

No real plan yet, I will hunt the white okes to the northwhen they start to drop. Hung a trail cam yesterday. Found tracks about 4" long and 3" wide around the pond.With brows, cover and water, a deer would never have to leave this area.
