how and when to enter bedding areas?

[Andrew Erickson]

I know its not the best thing to do but if you absolutely have to get in there, when and how do you do it?

When I've done it, it's been for all day sits and I've actually prepared a walking trail of sorts the last 100 yards that is free of debris so I'm in complete stealth mode coming in. I've gotten in well before dawn and not had any problems bumping deer in the morning but coming out has been a challenge. If I have to come out before dusk I go as slow as humanly possible but my preferred choice is sitting all day and hoping they are up and feeding elsewhere when I come out. I should add, I didn't do it very often and saved it for the rut, but it was entertaining!

Yep, come in early. Stay on the downwind fringe of the area.
