Three Bedding Examples with Video and Map Visuals

Unread postby Double Draw » Mon May 03, 2021 8:47 am

I feel blessed to have the opportunity to scout a lot of public land for mature bucks. Here are three bedding examples of mature bucks in highly pressured public land in several states. Each bed is shown with with video of the beds and map aids. In this video are a mountain buck bed, swamp island bed and river bottom bed. Hope this is insightful.

I also enjoyed watching. It would be nice to hear if you hunted any of theses beds and how you approached setting up on them, maybe that is coming in the videos.

The swamp buck bed I found after this past hunting season was over...with the buck in the bed...bumped him off. The mountain bed I got to surveil in season but couldn't go back bc of my family. I do have a video up now on how to hunt the mountain buck, though. The river bottom buck hunt got ruined even before I was set up from someone flying a drone over the area and scaring the buck. I will have 'how to hunt' videos up on the swamp and river bottom bucks soon.

I subscribed and have been watching your videos, good stuff, the hill country one was really good, with your scenarios of how you would hunt it.
How did you develop your strategies?

Thanks. I grew up in a family that didn't hunt but I was intrigued by deer even as a kid. I would race home from school and go out in the woods and climb a tree and watch deer. Did it for several decades before taking a bow or rifle with me. I owned doe urine, estrous can, grunt tube and more before I ever became a hunter. Long way to say my main teacher is simply watching deer do what they do. I have made every mistake there is to make and they become great tools. I read extensively and scout a ton. In the last few years it has really started to click in a whole new way.

Btw, the Beast is a top notch resource and Dan is a gifted teacher. I love the exchange on here. I hope that helps.
