Have permission to rabbit hunt a 50 acre woods that the man is thinking of leasing for deer this coming year. With the snow on it is incredible the amount of things you can learn about a woods. Found two major bedding areas. One had 11 beds with another having 8. The one with more beds is a thicket on top of a ridge that looks like cattle have run that trail. As I got to the top of the ridge where the thicket starts I was shocked to count about 20 rubs in a 15 yard cirlce. Saw two gigantic single beds which had to be big bodied bucks. The incredible thing was one of the beds was in a treetop blow down that I climbed on to jump rabbits. I dont even know how the hell the big boy got in there. I am thinking of going out in a couple of weeks to look for antlers. Should I check the bedding areas or stay on the used trails?
