I have an area that I hunt where the deer bed near a large field. The area that they bed in is covered with furns and ranges from 5 to 50 yards from the field. There is also a small creek that stays wet in the summer (maybe 100 yards from the beds) Inbetween the bedding area and the creek are some decent woods. So basically there are a few assumptions with this spot. First the deer to not have to go very far to eat, so trying to cut them off inbetween the bedding area and feeding area is impossible. Second, if I try to get into this area (bedding area), I will bump deer everytime. So, what I do is hunt the area in between the bedding area and the creek. My stand is hung maybe 50 yards from the beginning of the bedding area and about 40-50 from the creek. I still have to get in there quietly though, because it is still pretty close to the bedding area. This has worked for me.
