The Big Buck Serial Killer Dan Infalt discusses the concepts covered in his new DVD release "Marsh Bedding".
Much of Dan's hunting philosophies are based on finding where bucks bed and understanding why bucks bed in those locations based on topography, thermals, wind, security, food sources, competition, and pressure.
The marsh provides a perfect learning ground for understanding these bedding philosophies as well as formulating a plan to ambush the buck your looking for.
What I learned:
- When scouting a marsh focus on the transition, the break between the timber and the cattails.
- Look for points, fingers, bowls, and islands along the transition. Bedding is typically located on the tips of these in transition to the marsh
- Study access trails from the marsh to the transition or from the marsh to a remote island. There is likely bedding at the end of those access trails.
- Don't be afraid to get close. Pushing your distance from bedding might give you the best chance of seeing a mature animal in daylight.
- Go where no one else is willing to go. People and predators avoid water. If you can cross water you increase your chances of success.
