What’s the Difference between Bedding Areas and Sanctuaries?

Time to set the record straight on terminology. Some of the most common phrases in the world of wildlife often get used incorrectly and then rarely implemented appropriately. The term bedding thicket and sanctuary are NOT interchangeable.

The presence of actual deer cover is critical to see wildlife actually respond to it positively.
