If You were sitting where the red dot is and no Deer passed by You then they must be traveling and or bedding from the far end Your seeing them at?I'd set up a small ground blind in the tree line a little further left where You have the light blue dots...You don't want to be on top of the Deer if they are coming in at that far corner...the Muzzle Loader should reach out at that distance.....another area where the Deer may be coming out is to the far left corner of the woods on the left side of the light-blue dots just below the house.....if Your in the middle of that tree line You'll have a shot at a Deer from both sides?Take a limb and lean it up against a large tree and lean a few branches on the larger limb to hide your body line,cedar tree branches work even better since they stay green all year long.
Watch behind that line of tree's because the Deer could very well be slipping in behind those tree's to get out into the Alfalfa Field?

Stand location
What is off to the lower right of your blue dots? Looks like orchard or low scrub.
There appears to be a lone tree in the mid right quadrant of your map, off to the left and up from your blue dots. About 500 feet from your alfalfa.
Seems to me this may be a good spot for one stand dependent on wind. Select two spots for a stand, one as suggested previously somewhere along the lower line of trees and that lone tree out there and select the stand according to wind direction from you to the deer.
I don't think the deer would be closer to human movement but I cannot see the entire area. Those trees may be the only cover for miles and if so, they will use it at night only.
On second thought, those deer may be coming along that tree line at the bottom. You may want to lace a stand closer to the left side of that tree line to catch them sneaking in early at dusk.
Good luck

Back off 100yds or so from the blue dots and park your butt on the ground at the base of a tree that is wider than you are, and don't move. They will never know you exist. I would pick either the treeline by your lighter dots or the vertical edge of the field, depending on wind direction. Good luck!
