So the general rule seems to be- set up near bedding at dawn and food plots at dusk. I don't understand why a decent bedding area can't be camped at dusk, to bag a deer when deer would be LEAVING the bedding area. Is it because deer will often bed down close enough to the edge of the cover to see out, and will see you set up mid-late afternoon? What if the bedding area is fairly expansive?
You can but they are likely to see you if you get too close. Dan Infalt does most of his hunting near beds the last few hours of the day. He's got a lot of content on the subject.
