Given your situation Lefty, I'd have to agree. If the pressure is high you basically have two options - get there first, or go so deep no one in their right mind would do it (that fits me to a tee).

You might consider EXTREMLY early on pushing bedding. Watch the wind, get in there about two hours before sunrise (if not earlier), push right to the edge and wait. If you get lucky they'll stage a bit near bedding just long enough to get an arrow in them. I've never had much luck pushing bedding in the evening - those big boys always seem to pick me off if they're in their beds; it's what they do.
