That inside corner is a KILLER spot for parallel trail hunting the rut.... one of my best spots looks exactly like your scenario
You want the wind blowing from the thicket towards the field.... wait until roughly 8AM so all the deer clear off that bean field... then slide into that corner with wind blowing down the edge or at an angle into the field... if the thicket is North of that corner a North wind or North West wind would be good.
That setup is one way you can see midday activity on a "field edge"

I personally don't think you will see a mature buck work that scrape in that local in daylight.... maybe but it would be low odds. I'd leave that spot alone until next week if you were in WI ( I don't know TN rut times) and hunt that from the inside corner when they start to cruz... I shot a 157"er out of a spot IDENTICAL to this
