It depends on if it is pre rut or rut. I learned a long time ago to pattern bucks and their movement. I have stands that I use for morning hunts and stands I use for evening hunts. I place my stands according to bedding areas, feeding areas, rub routes etc… I have been successful both morning and evenings. I have found that learning to pattern bucks will help you more than anything. PS: I love to hunt bedding areas!! CDH
