Do you think this is a bed?

Unread postby MIsteelworker » Sat Nov 26, 2022 8:49 am

As I’m sitting in my stand looking around I see a rub maybe 15ft away from me. Right in front of that is a slight depression up against a log I tried to take the best picture I could but its not the best. The more I stare at it the more I think it’s a early season bed, it’s a the top of a small hill at the base of where 3 small draws meet and below that is a small swampy pond. Would this be what I think it is or am I just over thinking this

It looks like really open hardwoods but the picture also looks like its taken looking downhill. Is it thick and nasty behind you or open there as well?

It’s pretty open with all the leaves gone but there’s a lot of young oaks and maples in 3-8ft tall over the whole area making me to believe that it would be pretty thick when the all the leaves are on the trees
