Default Ethical Shot

So, I have found an area where the bulls are bedding. Unfortunately it is about 10 yards from private no go area. I feel I can put the stalk on and get above them with an opportunity to shoot one that is bedded down. Problem is if he manages to get up and run on to the private I'm out of luck for retrieval. I have talked with the owner and she was not willing to let let me go on the property. First question is about shooting one that is bedded; unethical? Second is shot placement. If I can get in to position above him I would have about a 20 to 30 yrd shot. My though is to hit him in the spine at the base of the neck. This way I hope it is a one shot and he doesn't move. If he were to run on to the private I would certainly notify the land owner and she can do as she pleases, but obviously I don't want to waste the animal. Any thoughts are appreciated.
