You mentioned rocky. The spot I hunt in PA public land is glacial rock. Tons of smaller sharp endge rocks. The deer bed where they can't find that.
IF making bedding areas, consider getting something to screen the soil. Level it out, take the rocks out. Put some soft perennial grass in there. plant a pine or spruce tree on a corner. Then brush it up. Often deer bed against a fallen log to break the wind. Then make an escape or two.
Deer find the laziest way in and out of a hill. Utilize it or help make that.
I have a drainage ditch crossing I hunt dividng 2 cornfields. IT's is an easier way to go in and out of the 2 fields. I made it even easier. Leveled the steep approach, took the lumpy rocks out of the path in and out. I feel they use it even more than before, although my treestand has been there for atleast 4 years before that.
Typically bedding areas is a corner of the property you do not want to be in often. Does like a nice lazy cosy spot they can see people and animals coming easily. Bucks would like that too, but are willing to go out of the way to be more secluded and private. IF there's a way a buck can cross something with water to cover his scent trail to his bed, he will prefer it. Some bucks almost require it to be comfortable. I believe this is why we see deer much more often in the rain than a nice warm calm day.
Short story long, any kind of drainage path alongside the hill the deer can meander towards a bed on the hill?
Lastly, you might want to figure out how to stay hidden while going to your hunting spot. I had a fun but fustrating place I could hunt 10 years ago. The deer were usuallu bedded and saw you coming.
Best tatic there was to get out of your car and pretend your going into the house, then go around the house, wait a bit, then either wait at the bottom for a 300 yard shot, or sneak alongside the brrushy property edge. Sometime treestand paths backfire and deer like them. IF there is an open area towards where you want to hunt, make a groundblind near your start. So you can hide and have a spot to rest your gun for a longer shot. Firewood piles are cheap and easy.
