Bedding is typically located on the tips of these in transition to the marsh<br><br>- 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.<br><br>- 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.<br><br>- 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.
