    I guy I work with swears by this. What do you think?

    If deer are moving heavily early in the evening then they find their beds earlier during the night and there won't be as much movement the next morning because they are bedded by the time shooting light comes around.

    I read somewhere deer eat every 4 to 6 hours. Go figure. I think they will move every time they eat unless they are just browsing around their bed. jmo

    for mature deer(bucks) I agree they are bedded by the time we get there. I have watch other deer bed after sun up.

    I wouldn't go by that. There is always a buck that forgets to follow the rules.

    I always figure any time available to hunt is worth it...it only takes one predator (coyote, wolf, bobcat, bear, dog, human, etc.) to jump that mature buck from his bed and push him your way...so it doesn't (and isn't) always about bedding & feeding areas - sometime big bucks are forced to move:)
