Buck

When it is about finding and targeting buck bedding areas, one question that we always ask ourselves when we decide where to sit is — “Is the risk worth the reward?”

So, is there a way to know how close is too close – and can you get away with it? Unquestionably, there are times to place in order to play it safe, but that is not always the case. To get your hands on mature bucks consistently, you have to be aggressive many a time, particularly on public land.

Knowing bedding areas and animal habits can be challenging. Even the most experienced of hunters sometimes mess up the situation. But, but with every mistake they make, they learn a lesson. Experts suggest that if you are not bumping the animal and you are swearing at yourself occasionally, then you are not getting close enough. Obviously, the very first step to successfully identifying bedding areas is to find them.

Hunters have played a major role in the conservation of the nation’s wildlife resources since the late 19th century. American conservation giants like Theodore Roosevelt and Aldo Leopold were both avid sportsmen. Their passion for wildlife and hunting helped shape our nation’s wildlife management philosophy and public lands as we know them. By maintaining ethical traditions and respecting nature, sportsmen and women continue to be vital stewards of wildlife and habitat today.
