For woods hunting either 50 or 100 yard zeroes should be about the same....flat from the muzzle out to 100. Sounds like you won't be shooting too far so bullet drop won't be an issue.
If you sight it in at 25 yards it is going to be dead on again at 150 with very little bullet rise in between....that is what I use. I think that this is where the legendary "sight all rifles in at 25 yards" got started. Works great for a 30-30 not so good for faster rounds.
All of this goes pretty much the same for 150 or 170 grainers. 30-30's are a lot flatter to 150 yards than most people think.
