I'm not exactly the most experienced bowhunter. I'm trying to figure out where im going to put out stands this year and I wanted to put one near a doe bedding area. One problem, I don't know how to find one, and I don't know where to look. Any info would be great.

Hey, years ago I had the darndest time understanding about bedding areas. Down here in VA where I hunt, generally the deer bed down in the real thick stuff and filter out of the beds maybe 30-45 minutes before dark. They can be tough catching going back into the beds and most of the time I dont risk bumping any deer in the morning next to their beds unless I am going for broke in the rut.

If you know where you are going to hunt, give us a breakdown and we could probably get you on track......to be honest, you probably just need to get out there and walk around and look at everything. Pine areas seem to be a favorite down here for bedding areas and tangled thick stuff.
