Actually baiting in the late afternoon can work well.I run my baits so that I am finishing my run at about 6pm.I bang on the bait pail and make noise after filling it then walk away noisily.According to my trail timers some bears are at the bait from 15 to 30 minutes after I leave.Many bears actually stay close enough to the bait to hear you come and go.I then sneak into the stand that I intend to sit and most bears show between 7pm and 10pm.It is light enough to shoot in my location until about 10pm or slightly after.Some of the real cautious bears do not show up until after dark.Too get them in earlier,I reduce the amount of bait so that by the time the older bear shows,the younger braver bears have eaten most of the bait.This method works quite often although some bears will never come to a bait in daylight reguardless of your tactics.
