I wouldn't hunt the bedding ground as that will scare them from returning. Always let them feel safe in the bedding ground. You can put the feeder almost anywhere as they will find it as long as you have a clear line of site from about 100+ yards away but if you can put it near their trail it may be more likely they visit it daily. Setup the feeder at least two weeks before so they can get used to it and feed off of it.

This is a quick survey that I made as part of a project for a class that I am currently enrolled in. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone who hunts would take this survey.

Well i got this guy on the last weekend of the hunting season.. I was about 100 yards from the bedding area thanks again for the tips and advice.. this is my first buck... I think this is a decent size for Florida. .

Congrats on a Fine first buck!
