[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1383873, member: 97196"] Rich We will definitely take a shot at bedded game when there is a clear shot. She was not able to get an unobstructed view in this case (only the head and antlers were visible). We normally watch a buck from a distance until it beds before trying to close the distance. Your larger coues bucks may lay hidden in one location throughout the day or just slightly move out of direct sunlight into the shade. Sometime we will sit on a bedded buck for hours waiting for a clear shot but as soon as we have one we take it whether bedded or standing. The reason you don’t hear of many taken while bedded is because nice bucks normally find a well obstructed location to lay and the shot only clears when they finally stand; sometimes only for a couple of seconds [/QUOTE]
