Default Setup on bedding area?

Well yesterday we found it. My buddy and i have known about a particular massive buck. Last year he was a 10 pt and this year he is a typical 12 point. He is atleast 150, maybe 160 inches, which for around here is a MONSTER. Anyhow, yesterday around lunch, my buddy and i got down to do some scouting. We ended up finding a tiny patch of woods, across the street from where we are hunting. The patch of woods is maybe 100 yards by 100 yards and there are hge rubs and scrapes everywhere. Unfortunately, we jumped the buck out of his bed, which is where my buddy jumped him out of his bed last december. There is a small area where he seems to be bedding quite frequently, the area was all matted down and there was so many droppings on the ground that you couldnt take a step without stepping in it. My question is how would you all go about hunting this area. There is one decent tree in that is located about 40 yards from his major bed and is inbetween the bed and a major scrape. I have never ran into this situation before and dont want to mess up a good opportunity. There are houses all around this patch of woods, so he has to be somewhat acceptable of human scent, although i dont know about directly in his home, although when we bumped him yesterday, he simply stood up, raised his tail and slowly trotted off. Please give me some advice on this massive backyard buck so i dont waste a great opportunity.
