Who has ever hunted "undisturbed pockets" of cover, away from the "main stream"?

deer bed anywhere.
Some buddies and I were rabbit hunting one day and jumped a buck out of a dozer pile right out in the middle of an open field.
IMO, bedding areas are chosen , not by design, but more by peacefulness.......
Find the place where people don't venture, and you'll surely find deer, no matter what the place looks like.

We purposeful set these aside as sanctuaries. We never hunt in them but certainly hunt around the edges of them.

Same thing here. We use our CPR fields as sanctuaries.

I honestly dont hunt out of the way pockets. When I hunt public land I get back in there as deep as I can. I probably need to branch out and hunt some out of the way places that others overlook, but Im not experienced in finding them and hate having people wandering by while Im hunting. I did put my housemate on his first buck this year within 150 yards of the parking area on a piece of public ground.

If you know the land you hunt you will find these areas. For us we call them sanctuaries and they are no hunt zones on our property. The reason is to keep the deer on the property and not someone elses land. This is a safe haven for the deer so be careful. Trails leading to and from are great but don't tread to close or they will change there location...JMO.

Especially if it has an "inside corner" and/or funnel leading to it. Great bedding area, so for me early mornings are best. I hope to catch some coming off the hay fields/food plots heading for mid-morning siestas.
