Default Primary Bedding area?

I asked about this spot some last year and have my game cams up and am getting lots of pics. In the contest forum A team mate made a post and now I am thinking about it again and am curious as to what you guys think. I always knew and know that deer move around alot, sleep in alot of spots over there home range. I would see this as spot of grass matted down good in a circle shape, seen them alot. This spot that I started to hunt last year toward the end of the year in the snow I found yet another path. It lead to a major, what I would call a "primary" bedding area. BY this I mean maybe a dozen or so beds about four feet around worn down to the bare dirt. Lots of tracks going in and out and lots of deer poo on the trails too! It is a swamp area and there is not trees good enough to get a stand in, and if there was I do not know how I could do it with out making to much noise going in and out. My question for you all is, how close can I get to there beds and not mess it up and they move out for a while. I think I will set up a ground blind, but how close is to close? Also has anyone else seen a primary bedding area like this? and how did you hunt it? As Imentioned above I have alot of pics of does and fawns. I think I have six main resident does and about eight fawns total, very few buck pics, only a couple all spring and summer.
