Default watching the open field

Well tonight boys/girls I had an oppurtunity to see a fresh peice of new turf to hunt. I know that it is late for a new peice but cant complain. Anyways, my girlfriends brother and I get in sitting ina tree line facing north with the wind in our face, see two does with fawns. Then asI get up I see one of the most beautiful bucks I have ever seen. Mind you he is across the open field eighty to one hundred yards away, he freezes, I freeze and we stare each other down. I break the binoculars out and he is symetrical as can be and a ten point from what little light I had. My question is.. . since we never directly entered his plot of woods would he be spooked to come out there again? It was barely light enough to see anything (our eyes) do you think he will be pushed out? Do you think it would be alright to go in there in the morning to set up my stand? Finally, would any minerals/feed keep him close? This is central Ohio and the rut is a month away! Thoughts???
