I think your on the right track hunting near bedding. I have shot my biggest bucks in or near there beds. Its just common sense. The older they get the less they move in daylight. They spend the majority of the day in there bedding area... The closer you are the more your success goes up.
Attached is a Topo of the area I hunt and another zoomed-out satellite image. Note that Canadian topo maps don't have much detail since the contour interval is not as tight, so you will barely notice a river valley. I outlined our property (that the previous satellite picture is representing) but I do have access to neighbor's lands.
I have 5 or so different bucks travelling through that slough area and north down the slope along the west property line into the woods. The old boy shows up near the slough sometimes as well as well emerges from the north river bank from time to time at night.
