Here's a bed I found in some nasty thick stuff on a point that was clear cut several years ago.



These rubs are right in the bed. Looks like it's been used for at least two or three years judging from the rubs.
Nice. I found some of that myself and 2 buck beds. Damn near impossible to get set up on though. One is on a point overlooking a lake and the wind blows from the only access to the lake so he'd wind you for sure. Thinking about buying a canoe and launching an early season water assault.
I've already got the trolling motor for my crappie boat and I've been scouring Craigslist off and on since I found that bed looking for a canoe!
I always keep my eyes out during these freak warm spells. I have found a couple of the tiny black ones this early during warm spells before.Be finding mushrooms before long with this warm spell. Crazy weather. I'm afraid it's going to mess up the fungus hunting but maybe it'll do the opposite.
Agreed. You can't beat a walk in the woods with weather like this.Some good looking sign you found! I took a quick walk through some south facing bedding yesterday. No sheds, but lots of good sign. Great time to be out scouting.

I did pull a total of 9 tiny ticks off of me yesterday though. So that's something to look out for.

Never ran into chiggers. Haven't heard much good though.[/QUOTE
That trip my friend had to go to the doctors when we got home.. I went through 3 bottles of rubbing alcohol on the trip home.. Legs were rubbed raw.
Jake. To answer your question about the Illinois deer herd and EHD...Some areas were hit hard. Not so much where we are..
Sounds like a good time. Get any? Been seeing tons of bunny hunters on the public land.
