Bedding and Feeding areas
There is a lot of talk about bedding and feeding areas. Being new to dear hunting, can someone describe how to identify a bedding and feeding area. What types of areas might be bedding areas? What is the best food for dear this time of year?

RE: Bedding and Feeding areas
In general terms, a bedding area somewhere that a deer feels safe and secure and can easily escape danger. Typically, bedding areas will be the nastiest, thickest places you find. The thicker the better. Deer will also seek out high ground to bed in hill country, such as points, etc.
Feeding areas can be anything from natural browse, to acorns, to crop land. In most places of the country, acorns are king in the whitetail world. They love them and must have them.
Good luck
