First, welcome to the forum. There is a great deal of experience, education and all around great people here.

Now, if it's a true bedding area, you want to disturb it as little as possible. Through scouting, find where the deer are doing their primary feeding and place your stand between that and the bedding area. If you opt to put out a bait site, place it there, between the bedding and feeding area. You'll have a great setup.
