[QUOTE="Tim Behle, post: 2094, member: 523"] When hunting Whitetails, I didn't like hunting the feeding areas, or any place close to them. That's where I always saw everyone else. The best way I found to get a nice buck, was to find a group of does in the summer and follow them to their bedding area. It's a good way to practice your still hunting. See how long you can stay behind them with out them noticing. A group of does will use a good bedding area for years as long as is goes relatively undisturbed. I like to set up on the trails leading to these bedding sites. If I didn't get out until the second weekend of gun season, I'd set up over looking a small ravine leading into one of the doe bedding areas. The bucks all know where these doe bed, and most of the year they leave them alone. Except during the rut, which happens to coincide with gun season in most places. During the rut, nice bucks come in and out of the various bedding areas several times a day. The last few years, I quit sneaking into the stand early. I always fell asleep when I got there and it was more comfortable to stay in bed and sleep an extra hour there. Plus I felt safer moving in the light, in case someone had snuck into my area. On my way to my stand, I just avoided traveling between the normal feeding areas and where I expected them to bed. [/QUOTE]
