Default Opinions on hunting a funnel.....?

Here' s what I have: main trail runs north and south from out of heavy scrub and splits east and west just before a grassy clearing. Deer travel to feeding from bedding heading south to north. Here' s the problem - the N/S trail before the split runs just on the inside a line of tall open hardwoods and scrub. The only place to set a stand is on the upwind side of this trail. Where the trail splits, the nearest tree would be too far away (40+ yards) to the split. On the eastbound trail after the split, there are no good trees to get into until the deer are almost at the edge of the woods, (where I have a stand - problem is, they show up here right at the end of shooting light). I do have another stand on the west bound trail 150 yards after the split, but this is also up wind. Both stands allow me to play the wind but the hot action is at the split. Is there a good way to hunt this situation at the funnel without being busted and not being on the ground? Think my scent would go over the deer if I were in a tree 15-20 yards on the west side of a trail? Thanks.
