I would say that you are going to have a higher success rate hunting near a bedding area in the morning. That is when you can catch them returning to there beds from a long night out. It's too hard to hunt in the evening because they are more likely to be already bedded when you try to make your way to your stand, then you run the risk of spooking them.
I hunt the "edge" ofa BIG thicket/bedding area. I see more deer in the evening when they come out than in the morning. Most of them are already back in before first light. I love this pic!
