My dilemma is this. I know the exact spot that I have watched, several different Bucks,on more than one occasion bed down all day. My last stand location is 48-50 yards from this spot. I can get a stand almost exactly over this bedding area in a tree which is on a bluff and be 30-35 feet above them and I can get to this tree without stepping foot in the bedding turf. Would you do this and when would be the best time to hunt it? Obviously I would not hunt this stand if wind was not right.

Please give any suggestions if you have had a situation like this. Thanks

I would try to figure out where they are coming in to the bedding area and hunt there. I personally would risk stirring them from their bedding area. That is a place they feel safe and comfortable.

Twach 007, thanks for your thoughts. Although I would never have to enter 1 foot into the area they bed. It would be like having balcony seets above them.

You're alreay 50 yards from the bedding area. Alot of people would say that's already too close. I think hunting directly over the bedding area is asking for trouble. You don't want your scent anywhere near that bedroom. Just hanging a stand there would deposit enough scent that they'd probably never return.

Like the other guy said, try to find the trail that they use to get to their bedsand set up 25 yards downwind from the trail if possible.
