RE: Letting an area cool off.....
 

your not the only one in that bedding area though, If we're talking about the same bedding area, but we passed a stand and feeder, and a ground blind.

That is probably true. But this is the only time of year the big ones get stupid,right? And I have seen small bucks avoid the trail I came in on also, earlier in the year.

Aaron.....they're using any and every place we went through as a bedding area. They could literally bed anywhere in that stuff. Those pines are a likely spot.....but we only (I only went through with you that one time) went through there once....and we did that pretty unintrusively. I'm MORE worried about all the fuss we made in the clearcut.

Thoserubs are bigger than any I've ever seen, here, though.....and I have to think maybe that wasn't the only buck using them.
