How to Find a Buck Bedding Area

Very good general summary. Every situation is different, so you have to modify these concepts for your specific habitat. I hunt public swamp land in Mississippi. The mature bucks don't give one flip about their distance from food sources. These guys have no problem traveling 2-3 miles at night to feed, as long as they can return to a secluded, well protected space for the day. And what took me years to learn is that these bucks traverse miles of water - sometimes even swimming - to get to these places. I grew up thinking that food sources were the key. But in the habitats I hunt, at least, it's all about security and seclusion....if you're hunting the mature bucks. Identify places where humans either can't or won't go, and you'll find a trophy. It's HARD work.

All good stuff. I hunt State land. No cameras, no cutting foliage and so overnight stands. Makes it harder.

This was excellent. I really needed a simple explaination of what to do, where to start when scouting around. I've listened to hours of podcasts that have so much information that it clouds my mind. This video is a great, simple explaination of what to be looking for. Very much appreciated!

The best video I've ever seen regarding finding beds and explaining how to do it. I'm now a subscriber!

Keep out of the bedding area, hunt the food plot entrances & pinch points.

Thanks for the info.

Very informative, thank you.

So much information and you explained it very well. It was actually contrary to what the hunting public says. They said that bucks like to stay high when they bed so that they can see what's coming. I've never found that to be the case. Why is it that I always jump bucks extremely close? I believe that these bucks are thinking, "if I can't see them, they can't see me."

Good info!

You got me at Wisconsin. I’m right here with you brother. New Subscriber.

Excellent video

Great tips!

When in the fall do they shift to these beds? I hunt in west central Wi with mixed woods and ag.

very imformative

I didn’t know deer eat eggs. I’ll be sure to bring out in the woods next time

so if i walk in an area and see deer fresh scat on the ground and they are big pellets that is a big deer and bedding area is close guy at work said i should hang trail cam and maybe hunt that area is that good advice

I don't have a major food source like an ag field within 2 miles.

Did you say egg?

What's mixed egg??? I didn't know deer ate eggs?

He said ag field 😂
