Finding Bedding Area Tip

Finding bedding areas now gives you a big jump ahead of the game come this fall. It is becoming more and more popular to hunt bedding areas. This is most true when it comes to hunting large mature deer.

The further you hunt from the bedding area, the more options you give a deer to take a route that will not cross your path. By getting in close you narrow down the options he has to avoid you and put the odds in your favor. Keep in mind though, this isn't for the faint at heart. Make a mistake, and it could be your season in that area. So you better bring your "A" game.

Now, is a good time to be scouting and looking for those bedding areas, if you bump deer it will be months before you are hunting them again. Use a map to mark the beds you find and eventually a core area will emerge on the map. Then you know where to begin your search come this fall...
