From what I can tell, you don't really have many options. Your deer are bedding in the swamps & thickets (green) and wind direction is not in your favor most of the time. I would assume that more often than not that wind direction is going to be coming out of some sort of westernly direction...am I right? Your bedding is to the East! Your scent should be blowing straight into the bedding. You'll need to make sure you are 25' off the ground to minimize that from happening unless you have an East wind. Tuff situation if you ask me. If you can get a stand near the upper right hand corner of the lot, I would think that would be your best bet.

Let us know what direction the wind typically blows. If you do get an easternly wind, you would be better off somewhere near the bottom right hand corner of the lot. You may get some deer coming out of the timber to the west but your big mature deer should be bedding in the swamp/thickets to the east.

Just the way I see it based on your information anyhow.
