You definitely don't want to disturb bedding areas. That's the easiest way to ruin a hunting area, especially for a good buck. I'd set up several stands back far enough to cover those areas and put them where the wind is favorable so you can pick and choose when to use them. You definitely don't want to go into bedding areas or be in a stand with the wind carrying your scent into them. Do as suggested by the preceeding post and use these suggetions as to where to actually place the stands. Also get them up as soon as possible and let the areas alone until you hunt them. Also, don't hunt any one stand day after day and stink it all up going to and from. Lingering human scent is a quick way to move a good buck right out of the area.
