Blue dots = likely buck bedding spots
yellow dots = rut funnels

I would want to confirm the bedding, My set ups would be based on where it appears the bucks go from bedding, as close as possible, without exposing yourself to them.
It might not be a bad idea to glass the area prior to hunting to determine day time movements in the open areas.
A lot of those point beds at the tops of the draws will be just inside the brush to watch you approach and then escape out the back or down the draw. Standing corn might help with some of your access
