Finding A Buck's Bedroom And How To Set Up

[@ROBSwank-pm1vd]

Thx for the Tip on weather map n X date forecasting based on the high pressures n lowering temps after the fronts .. Nice Tool.!! 😎🇺🇸

Wow there is a lot of really great information in this video! Thanks! 👍

I often find lots of rubs near doe Bedding just off field edges, I'll bet I could get lots of night time Buck Pics there. I'd look deeper.

[@davidrussell631]

I’m with @wnyprepper. While a mature buck(s) has obviously spent some time there, bucks don’t bed during the day next to a field, especially where there’s no cover.

[@matthewbunner4851]

its a myth that bucks have to have a ton of cover to bed. In hill country such as WV, bucks prefer to bed on points where they can see with just a little cover at their backs. It doesnt have to be a lot of cover.

[@curtismerriman9956]

Here in NW Alabama big woods I find areas like that with big aggressive rubs only in rut bed areas. A big buck will wait on the does to come to him in areas like that. But a bucks core here looks entirely different. But I still get excited on any big rubs.

Where can I get the weather app at so I can predict certain days? Great infor!

[@TheWhitetailGroup]

Wunderground.com the website, not their app

[@route-249]

So what weather app are you using? I would like to use it.

[@TheWhitetailGroup]

The Weather Underground website. We explain in more detail here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZvWZKxrrK2lnNU

[@Canadaman4403]

Question for ya my son spotted a Whitetail buck in a dry slew bed surrounded by thick cover a low spot with hills around it I went in a week later to set up a trail camera and I almost stepped on him at 5 yards into the wind. What do you think the odds are he will come back? He did stop 30 yards away and looked at me for a few seconds and then disappeared

[@Thebeardedcanucks]

What if you find the beds ,but no rubs ?

[@Odysseusnobody]

So he's rubbing off in his bed room?

[@ML-ks2lj]

Where do you find that graph at? I been searching and searching for a graph that shows me the pressure and the temp x and I can never find one hell I'll pay for an app that shows me that.

Hey, if you search for our magic, X video on KZbin, it will explain how to use weather underground on safari and anchor it to your homepage, as if it is an app

[@USMC-vp4rr]

How many yards would you say the bed was from the edge of field? And Do you typically see deer bedding in layers so does bedding closer to food then bucks behind them or bucks bedding right close to the edge of transitions? Thanks

[@a3fan11atick]

Hey I wouldn’t say it was one bed … there were several beds in a 20-30 yard area on that point .. down out of wind but watching over below. I think it’s kind of random how they bed .. however a mature buck generally seems to bed somewhere he’s learned that works for him over the years to escape from danger .. typically I’d say by himself most of the time and in the most ideal spot around

[@ML-ks2lj]

Pressure from hunting determines this on public. But 99 percent of the time young deer and doe bed on the field edge or right in it regardless of wind. Bucks will well over 100 yards away from them and always will use thermals and wind to their advantage. If there is a ridge he most definitely walking down that point marking his rut area where he wants to breed and the circling off a bench with the wind crossing his face smelling his bedding area out and the j hooking back up into it and he will bed there off the ridge where the wind is pulling down into a valley or bowl and as the sun comes back up the thermals will rise pushing any scent from down below up the hill into his face where he can see and smell danger along with the wind falling over the ridge top where he can hear and smell danger. Impossible to just walk up on him unless you're coming off a cross wind and moving dead ass quiet. That's where scouting comes into play. If you spook him out and there is all kinds of hunting pressure he might not come back to that bedroom until next season or ever. If it's unpressured he will come back in a couple days or so.

[@curtismerriman9956]

Pressure for sure dictates where deer bed but bucks will bed on points a lot where does funnel into a field or pinch points, bluff gaps etc. he will make big rubs in a cluster because he is aggressive while he is there. There cores usually have very little sign. If hunters hunted mature buck habitat and not rubs they would kill a lot more big bucks!

[@collinolson3027]

How many yards off would you typically set up off a bed?

[@TheWhitetailGroup]

It depends on time of year… October … I’d know where he’s bedding and try to get set up on the closest scrapes over food .. evenings only for most of October….

[@wadesoutdoors1914]

What weather app was you using ?

[@sacredknoll848]

@@wadesoutdoors1914 hes using weather underground i believe.

[@WesternNyBigfoot]

He's not bedding there. He is heading from the field back into woods. Nite time rubbing. He probably beds 200 yards down

[@austinshipman9216]

I’m with ya on this

[@jacobjanka7578]

Would those beds be doe beds then?

[@dustinhogue6057]

​​@@jacobjanka7578 possibly but does where I hunt bed in a small group with fawns you'd see more bedding spots than 2 when locating bedding where I hunt. You'll often find your buck beds 200yds or so from doe bedding

[@rmvb619]

Rubs are so hard to read . Look so good but just tell you they passed by.

[@ML-ks2lj]

​@@jacobjanka7578yes most likely rubbing because he wants to breed them. It's his mark saying these are the doe that are mine. Doe bed right off he field and bucks will find some thick nasty stuff 2 or 309 yards away. Might be young bucks bedding there but most likely doe having multiple beds right on the food source.bucks bed away from them

[@BoworBustOutdoors]

That area isn’t nearly thick enough for a buck to be bedding there. He’s definitely bedding close by but likely in much thicker timber. Those beds you found are likely doe beds.

[@TheWhitetailGroup]

This is a misconception … big mature deer love big open hard woods where they can lay and see ranger … trust me I’ve killed several big mature bucks living in wide open hard woods!!

[@richstafford1245]

@@TheWhitetailGroupI agree. I think people undervalue the importance of visual security with bucks. They love to be able to see a long way. That said the sign can be misleading as well. You might find the same situation with no rubs and assume it’s doe bedding. Not always the case. If there is only one mature buck in the area he doesn’t have the competition hence little or no sign. The situation you found is likely several decent buck competing in that area. I found young buck will tear everything up regardless but more mature animals leave sign for a specific reason ie competition from a similar age class animal.

@@TheWhitetailGroup He would probably then realize someone else was there. Cant hunt at night. Big fantasy states dont have same pressured deer that NY or PA or Michigan have for example. They get wise real fast

​@@PeterOldschool same way here especially on public. Everyone here in Texas and Arkansas hunts major pressure. He smells you he'll ghost you.

[@nickbeam6442]

@@TheWhitetailGroup bucks return to their bedding area regardless of scent they can tell how long it was you were there, their nose has way more power than a humans so I agree walking around won’t hurt unless your hunting him consistently and leaving so much scent you make him uncomfortable.

[@littlerayofsunshine69]

I took a scouting walk one day. Found half a dozen fresh rubs skinned 4 feet off the ground on trees six inches thick in a line running out a ridge top. Huge buck. I walked back to my usual stand that evening about half a mile away. About 15 minutes before dark that same day, the biggest buck I've ever seen came walking up the exact same path I had walked up going to my stand from that other area only four hours earlier. I'm almost certain it was the same deer. He was in full rut with a thick neck and I watched him tear up another tree like the ones I had found earlier right before I shot him. I've had deer cross paths with my scent and keep going completely unbothered. I've had deer follow me to my stand with their noses to the ground following my trail all the way to the stand. Not once have I ever seen one come across my path and spook because it smelled where I had been.
