Here’s what to pinpoint with scouting leading up to archery deer season

It had been almost a year since I’d been on this property in North Dakota, and my first order of business was checking out a specific bedding area. 
It’s actually more of a single bedroom – the tip of an oxbow so small on a narrow river system that the cover is going to hold only a deer or two, but that deer could very well be the biggest buck on the property. I believe the buck I tagged during the 2022 archery season was bedded here before he presented me with a shot coming out to the edge of the standing cornfield. 
My buddy Sam Schmid and I were back on the property a few weeks ago as we followed a subtle trail through the canary grass and found a good-sized deer bed.
