I would hunt it. that gives you a 14 yard window. Perfect.
Only hunt when the wind is right, but you knew that.

I'd hunt it, right after buying a lottery ticket first.

Like said above, watch the wind, when it's right set up camp!

I do my best to hunt the wind very carefully and I often set myself up 10 yards or less from where I expect the deer. The only problem is practicing at 20 yards and having to shoot at 6 yards. I've let many a deer "pass low" as I shot over their back. If you're careful about what you're doing, hunt from where you are.

As stated use the wind of course and keep a sharp eye out on the direction he is coming from. He may give you a good shot before he is "too close", (an all to familiar term with ground hunting).
