It really depends on the spot, the size of the "bedding area" as you call it and all that. If it's a small area I'd want to be further away from it so I can slip out in the AM or in in the PM without spooking deer in case I wasn't in the travel route for a particular hunt. When people start talking about "Bedding Areas" I've found that most don't really know but just have a "THOUGHT" or Idea. It also depends on deer density. When someone tells me he 25 yards from a bedding area I figure he really doesn't know. A bedding area isn't that precise. I mean, they don't change their sheets daily or anything like that. They use an area. They come at it from different directions. It's a zone, not a straight edge where you can declare yourself 25 yards away. Experiment and learn Grasshopper. Don't crowd them early in the season. Save last chance tactics for the end of the season. If you feel you have it "25 yards" from the bedding area.... back off some more and move in after you've seen what's going on and what's happening with food source changes etc. There's nothing to stop that deer from bedding 25 yards from "YOUR" bedding area. I think you need to learn more and tread lightly until you do.
