That's a very general question. I would just say that I keep my morning hunting stands for whitetails in areas where I have easy access to them quietly. That usually means very close to trails (man made), that intersect feeding and bedding areas. Tougher to get to stands are reserved for evening hunts.

Well Grandmaster B, I would find a place in the woods between their feeding area and their bedding area. As they will be on their way their soon after sunup. The swamp edge may be promising if thats where they're heading. Which where I hunt is usually the case in the latter part of the season.

There are really too many variables involved, but generally speaking I place my morning stands near the bedding areas.

I agree that this is a tough question. Evening spots are far less dificult to locate IMHO.
Here is my type of morning spot. I will hang a stand in an oak flat that I can access quietly without crossing a field. I feel that the deer will feed through this area after feeding and bedding in the field at night on their way to a bedding area for the day.
But I think this is hard to find and get to without spooking the deer off the field which defeats the purpose.

My most productive morning stand is between a bedding area and a food source. Actually two bedding areas and a food source.

Travel cooridors that you can slip into quietly without being detected are IMO prime for morning hunts. In the morning deer are less likely to bunch up in staging areas. they'll be on the move from food to cover. get inbetween the two and you should have good hunting.
