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.
Agreed. But thats not to say that you cant get them in the evening, just have toapproach your stand more cautiously in the evening hunts and take extra precaution not getting seen while on stand, you run the risk of running him right out of his bedding area.
