However, there is a ankle deep creek that it about 15 yards wide and straight for about 150 yards which could come in handy come rifle season. I have not heard many mention hunting something like this so I wanted to ask if anyone has experience trying it? Kind of like a gas line opening through a bedding area.

You could set up on edge of bank and enjoy the excitement. I'm sure you'll see deer. CISM- Firefighter Chaplain-C.E.R.T. Instructor Refuel Ministries-HAM (KM4LBG)

You didn't mention that you found where the deer cross. If it truly is a deer crossing, then you should be good.
