depends on where they r bedding and r u hunting the beding routes. i would get there b4 light and wait it out. hunt with a buddy if u r wary about the travel in the dark. the bucks, this time of the year, get out of there at the hint of light...usually. there is always a variance. get a ground blind..they work well if u can conceal them well. hide them n corners and brush the tops. cover the shooting holes with "SHOOT through" netting. bucks spook at the sight of the black holes...hey, good luck

ps..try hunting spots where they cross fingers of water...they will b hot right now
