I hunt in an agricultural/suburban residential type setting. An area with a fair amount of farming activity, but also quite a bit of rural residential development. Needless to say, the deer are accustom to people. You could bump deer without changing their patterns or habits a whole lot here. However, bedding areas are another matter. I take great care and caution to avoid disturbing an area I know to be a bedding area and do not tolerate people from the area disturbing it either (trespassers). I set my stands up a month before season, so the disturbance is keptto a minimum. And I have stands within 50 yards of at least one bedding area. But I never hunt it unless the wind is right. In your situation, what I would do here in my area is to set the stand before day light. A climbing stick will help. And hunt it the day you put it up. In my humble opinion, that is the day your chance of being successful would be the highest. However, keep in mind that my opinion was free and there are as many opinions as there are hunters. And we are all right...har har.
