[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5746682, member: 20583"] 10min after shooting light tells me he's probably bedded farther away than 50-100yds. But I'm not there so I can't say for sure. You could just wait for him to eventually come in earlier, or you could go after him. Either way risks not getting him. That's one of hunting's biggest dilemmas. Only you can decide. If you move in closer you risk busting him out. If you just sit back & wait then he very well may change his pattern before ever offering a shot. If it were me I'd set up TONIGHT on a tangent. I'd swing wide out to the side of his suspected travel where I could watch both where I think he's bedding and where I'm catching him on cam. Watch to see if he's actually bedding there or coming from somewhere else, and if he's using the travel path you suspect or doing something totally off your radar. I've been able to close in a lot of bucks by doing this, especially during bed-to-feed patterns. Some folks call it an observation sit. That's a pretty good name for because you're not necessarily planning to kill him, just gathering information to help you kill him. [/QUOTE]
