think of it as a science. you've got to study him and figure his patterns out quick. you only have about 2-3 weeks before he goes into rut and may end up halfway acoss the county. now while you're keeping an eye on him keep your distance and dont spook him. best way to figure him out is to get a map and label everywhere he's been seen and when. also spotting at night occasionally will let you know his patterns a little better. good luck.
