Default Closing in on the big ones!

ok there are 2 boonie bucks runnin together here. by process of elimination, talking to other hunters in the area, seeing them myself, and topo/aerial maps i've got their pattern figured out. now the hard part. i only have 1 day to hunt them a week. so basically what im asking is from experience what time of day do you guys notice the more mature bucks moving? most people think they are strictly nocturnal but i dont think so. gut feeling tells me they might move in the middle of the day when no one is in the woods. please fill me in on your knowledge of this. there are 2 locations i feel they are going right through but now im trying to figure out what time of day to be sitting there. thanks in advance for any help.

ps - these bucks are not in rut yet, they're still patternable
