Default Hunting bedding areas on opening day

I put up a stand that directly over hangs a fairly large bedding area in some very thick cover. It was not mypreference to hang it exactly there, but lack of options, given the tight cover and lack of large enough trees led to my putting it there.
My question to others is the following. Shoud I hunt it in the morning or afternoon/evening of rifle season opener? These deer will have been undisturbed up until opener, and then I am sure that they will be moving quite a bit as the day unfolds. I was leaning toward leaving it alone in the morning and moving to it in the early afternoon. Does this sound sensible? What would others sugggest? Thanks in advance.
