I'd like to know how many actual different bedding areas those beds are in

[@stevearttus8164]

What I'm getting from this, is a bucks bed and feeding spots are probably determined by
1.) Located in a secure or area of comfort
2.) Actual spots are determined by wind and social interaction.
So, hunt an area, not a spot. Hunt areas that are likely based on wind and current deer activity.
Unfortunately, this is what most already do.

This interview alone brings up so many questions. There is a huge movement to hunting deer beds but he is saying bucks only bed in the same beds 1-5 times at most. so that makes actively scouting before season and in season almost a requirement and imperative to hunting buck beds. seems being aggressive might be the way to go.

I don't know about how many beds but I like giving them dirt naps

Would be cool to see how the bedding changed with human pressure, if there was any. Roads, tree stands, feeders, houses etc..

I really enjoy these podcasts guys. I just found y’all like a cpl weeks ago and I’ve watched a bunch of them. Are y’all coming to the Mississippi Wildlife Extravaganza in Pearl in July?
