How many deer do you anticipate to use the 2 acres of bedding? Anticipate (HOPE!), a lot using it. Now I'm not talking a lot of deer every day. But deer frequent it enough that when the bucks start traveling looking for hot does, this is a place they check. If I could AVERAGE 1 deer per day bedding in it during season I would be ecstatic. Remember though, THIS IS JUST AN EXPERIMENT. I've never heard or read of what I am calling a PERMENANT bedding area. Realistically, I don't know what to expect. This is not my first "project" just going with an idea that I've never read or heard about. Some have worked. Some have failed. I still haven't found the magic bean but I enjoy looking for it.

In my experience, enhancing areas that deer already want to be in works better than arbitrarily picking a spot. Not saying that you just picked a spot, I'm just saying that you may see some favorable results if they already want to be there. I would be shocked if your results didn't improve more vastly with a feeder in the middle of that bedding area.

If you'll drive your 4-wheeler to the feeder everytime you fill it, it won't bother the deer at all.

I'm gonna take a picture of the patch I'm talking about if they haven't cut it yet.
My pic turned out looking like crap for some reason. I'll post it anyways so you can get the gist of what I'm talking about but I'll have to take my real camera back with me to get a better pic one day.

I have talked to some of the guys that work for the experimental farm and they say that the deer are thick as thieves in Chicago in the switchgrass across from GKN. I am guessing that would be expected anywhere but with the best looking bedding grounds imaginable being right beside it, it says even more. I'm not following you. What are these best looking bedding grounds grounds you speak of? GKN is surrounded by crop land that butts up to mature woods. I'm not aware of any good bedding grounds near there.

It actually looks like a painting to me. Should have been horizontal but hey who am I to complain.
