RE: More important for your hunting property to have?
Well I'll go against the grain...
If everything is equal, I would rather know that I can place my stand, say 100-150 yards, from a deers bed. I believe your odds/chances will be better. Here's my thoughts... Most deer will likely have a few bedding areas, if their not pressured. However, they might eat 50 different types of food, depending on what's in season, so which food source will you plant? I realize the standard apple trees, white oaks, corn, clover, etc... works well for the hunting season, but that's a lot of work too! That's gonna be one big property. I would rather own a few acres of bedding area and wait for them to get tired or bored! |

ORIGINAL: SWThomas Feeding area. They can bed wherever they want. |

I would def. say feeding I hunt on a couple land pieces that only have bedding and it can be dicouraging seeing all the deer on others property gourging themselfs.

bedding area
you can plant food plots to help draw them in |
RE: More important for your hunting property to have?
I'd choose feeding area. I love sitting in my stand knowing that sometime soon, somebody's got to being getting hungry.:)

I said bedding because they will spend more time in the bedding area than the feeding area. Also not just a bedding area is needed but a sanctuary. A place you never set foot into. This will give the deer a place to feel safe and will stay on your property. Deer dont just bed anywhere. They may laydown in a spot for a while but a true bedding area is a safe place you dont hunt or enter. I can promise you this will be one of the best things you can do for a hunting spot.
