How To Find A Buck's Bedding Area 

Hands down Best Whitetail channel out there ! Thank you so much Good luck to All 👍🏻🦌

First hunt tonight starting to see bigger bucks moving in everyday. Great day to start. Thanks Jeff

Good luck everyone, hoping to punch a tag tonight for sure!

Good luck tonight!!!

Hope you are having luck with this cold front!!!

Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom. Working on my ~8 acre slice of heaven in Jackson Michigan to be a deer holding, mature buck holding & traveling habitat. I sincerely appreciate your help with the puzzle! Be safe, God bless.

By the way I appreciate the video footage seems like you have been adding more lately, nice touch

38⁰ tomorrow morning - could be a great set!

This channel has truly given me the knowledge and confidence to get out and hunt. Especially PA public land!

Good morning Jeff! I sat last night but didn’t see any deer, most likely due to the wind. However I did see a nice bobcat and lip squeaked him into 6 yards. It made for some awesome video and a cool experience. Good luck tonight!

Out this morning in PA Gamelands. Seen 4, 3 doe and a little 4 point that was putting on quite a show...lol

Great video it helped me figure out how to hunt a new property that i got permission ok this year.

As usual, Great stuff, Jeff! I sat the other night in the oak stand and had a good 10 that stayed on the outside while some younger bucks strolled right in. Two nights later the same thing and he made his way further south into thicker autumn olives and then beyond me to the evening fields. I need to get out of the oaks and into the thicker cover to get this guy. Sure, he might slip up and stroll in, but unlikely. I'll be adding a stand this afternoon along tha path of travel. Thanks for the insight and refresher. After your visit 9 years ago, I know better, but sometimes we get lazy! Best of luck!!!

You’re not kidding on wildness deer. Bucks I hunt come by every 4-6 days

I see all these Facebook posts this morning everyone is there am stands in 40 mph wind gusts! I wonder how many bucks will get pushed out this opener weekend?

Looking good Jeff, Thank you for this Great video! 🇨🇦

Do you have anything specific about hunting down south? AL, MS, GA…not much farmland in my area. Lots of thick woods and swamps. hardwoods and some planted pines. Hunting larger parcels 50, 100 acres or more. Love the habitat videos. Thanks

Jeez can we take a moment to appreciate the quality of that reveal tacti cam!!

Very true Jeff you just never know if there across the street but they’ll be back I believe that too! It’s definitely a fact that deer cross roads and go into deferent pieces so by the time they back in the piece we hunt can be a day a week who knows but they always come back and go into there safe spot in each piece to bed like you said we’re not hunting bamby these bucks know each year we’re the food is and we’re the does are I had a great wind yesterday I seen 5 does 2 mature and three little ones that being said I won’t go back for a couple weeks when I know it’s game on and I only hunt public yes Jeff is right there’s plenty of good public land just need to find it yes it is very pressured here but it’s simple if you see stands that mature buck sees them too and it’s just not ethical to hunt next to somebody yeah a friend but don’t be that guy that walks up to your tree at 7:00 when you been in tree hour before light you see a stand go deeper in woods or just go scout another piece of woods but you will find a honey hole eventually just got to scout scout and scout but there out there another great video can only go up from this channel thank you Jeff hope you have a great day and stay blessed! 🙏

There is a buck I’m seeing three to four times an evening on cam, and a few times in the daylight. If he’s showing up that much, can I assume I’m near his bedroom?

Well missed a giant tonight , the hunt goes on. Man i really screwed that one up. 🤦

Thank you for your video.

Jeff - looking for some guidance on how to approach one of my properties. It is an extremely high stem count swamp area where a good chunk of it may actually be too thick for what the deer like. It is certainly incredibly difficult to navigate as a human - there are lay down trees and blow downs everywhere that you constantly have to maneuver around and try not to make noise with. It’s about a 60 acre piece. Very wet and routinely gets flooded. Where do you even start with a property like that?

Where at in SE Ohio have you hunted Jeff?

So the general rule seems to be- set up near bedding at dawn and food plots at dusk. I don't understand why a decent bedding area can't be camped at dusk, to bag a deer when deer would be LEAVING the bedding area. Is it because deer will often bed down close enough to the edge of the cover to see out, and will see you set up mid-late afternoon? What if the bedding area is fairly expansive?

Man the beauty of the patterns. Here in the Central Florida I love the challenge of the Green Swamp. Im currently going to try the mock scrape I learned from your video. Put up two last week. Archery opens October 27. I wont be out there until Nov 2. Got the cams on them and curious. I used vine as you do. After this video Im rethinking an area I found a cooridor yesterday in between three merging bayheads. It is only about 100 yards wide with spikes pf about 50 yards leading out from a middle which is the 100 yards. Out goes to open palmetto and and sparse pine. Im now thinking that the middle is a bedding area and not just movement corridor. So think i will sit on the three spikes coming out from the middle. I was hog hunting and went through it. Question- think its too late to establish a mock scrape on the lines coming out of each? Or should I wait and put them out in the spring? Archery starts 27 Oct then goes all the way through 29 January. Next is trukey season in the spring.

Please explain, the major food source is not a big field or open area, but a concealed food source in cover? Once this food source is found, you go back in layers from that?

Any recommendations for a first year bowhunter

Any time I hear someone mention "stem count" I know they are a WHS watcher. Or one of the knockoffs out there LOL

Do you have any tips on how to hunt in mid day, I’m a single mom and only have between 10am and 2pm while kids are at school to hunt and still trying to get my first deer. I’m also hunting public land and trying to figure out how I can get one. Also do calls work at this time of year and do scents work too or should I wait.

I have 22 acres in the middle of a 400 acre plot of woods and ag and homes on the perimeter. What can I do draw them to my plot

Jeff and Dylan!! Give us some love down south (Bama), I know we have Great Dane size deer but we love it just as much! We ( well maybe I do) need some help. Seasoned rifle deer hunter giving bow hunting a try. I’m lost. No family or friends that enjoy the outdoors. Trying to manage 40 acres passed down from last family member. Do you have rates for consultation? Thanks for any tips anyone can offer. -JB

What about hunting large plots of land without Ag? Most vids I’ve seen are based off ag food (corn/beans), what about just hundreds of acres full of woods and hay fields?

Maybe you’ve already done this but can you do a deer/buck bedding video specifically for hill country? So many times in Winona county I see guy spook deer bedded hill side before they even step foot in the timber. It can get really tricky in my opinion.

What if the bedding area is off your property and you don’t know where it is/aren’t able to find it? I’m hunting 40 acres and 30 of it is soybeans, I have a stand hung on the edge of the beans. I’ve only sat twice and killed my first deer with a bow a few weeks ago. It was just a doe but I have a decent 8 on camera I’d like to get but he only shows up after dark. I did see him on my first sit but it was 5min before the end of shooting time and he never gave me a shot I felt comfortable taking. Just not real sure how to go about catching him in the daylight

When your neighbors put in a few cows and their stuff is close to your stand(about 50 yards) and spooks deer away for a week or so and then they come back but only nocturnal, how long do you think it will take for them to come back in daylight? If they do at all?’

What type of broadheads do you lean towards

Nice
