    Ok I’m going to illustrate the best I can to show you where he came from today, where I have seen and had him on camera and where the known doe bedding is

    Thanks everyone! Still soaking it in here, what an awesome evening, here’s the link to the kill on YouTube if any of you want to check it out… I am far from a content creator, just like to be able to go back and watch the shot!

    Dark orange is where I was Parked to pull stand and was at the car and he popped out of tree line and slowly trotted off , no blow, no tail up at 25 yards from car. Light orange is direction of his travel to scrape and camera almost every other day at least

    I’m going to look for a bed in there but I’m thinking he could be spending time in that spot and knows every time I’ve came there to hunt because he’s watching the road coming in. Thoughts? My original guess is he stays in corn field in middle of property but they picked it tonight

    That's a heck of a shot! Thanks for the blood pics. Great video also.

    I feel like shooting some more deer this week! I couldn't hunt tonight because I played DONKEY BASKETBALL for a senior class fund raiser. What a great time. I'll be out almost every day tomorrow to Nov 17th!

    I will get back to you on this when inhave time to type out a longer response. The short version is its the rut and i wouldn't focus on his particular bed, just typical travel patterns of deer between known bedding areas. I agree he was probably in the corn, but now will be forced into the strips of woods around. I would look for those pinch point within the strips of woods between bedding. Dont believe he was watching just you, but looking for predators in general and also watching for does moving thru.
