Benches are hard because of the thermal. It can be an evening, remember this, and ideally temperature is falling. One problem, you have make sure where you sit isn't going to be where the sun sets because the thermal will fall on 5he shaded part of the hill and the thermal can rise on the heated side. That why bucks like it and with that a heavier wind will create a swirl. Best advice I can give isn't out there post season do scouting and bring lots and lots of milk weed and sit in location on a observation sit where you want your stand and watch how the wind and thermals react. Like anything you have to practice. Do this and I promise you success. Find the spots that are the best and least pressured. And use your maps we have it so easy now a days with OnX and using a tracker tool to show our routes. Bring a small kids rake and clear your path of sticks leaves too but I wouldn't worry about leaves as long as you don't walk heavy footed

A good wind mapping session with milkweed in the off-season has solved a lot of questions about thermals! - Greg

Also if you enter benches from the top of ridge in the morning I would rather enter from the bottom because if your entering early way before light your thermals are still pulling down. Most of the time your thermal will try to pull until that sun peaks out.

5:38. Maybe I wasn't so crazy after all thinking I saw ears and a mega rack right at sunset this past Saturday evening… And now that I think he was alot more wary of me because the wind was almost zero going south. I face north.

Only problem with hunting off topographic maps is that during that magic 10 days kick in is that there are drifter bucks pulled out of there core areas searching for doe and these travel routes are there preferred routes due to experience on that property, drifters are new to those spots and are just following there noses

Does this work for ground hunting as well?

Now for morning sits are you entering at dark or do you prefer at first light/Grey light Thanks

That really is situational. If you can get into an area you won't bump deer going in before light can put you in good position right away in the morning. If you are in a situation where you may bump deer with the flashlight it might be better to hold off until grey light and slow walk in.
