RE: Late Season strategy?
This will be the first time I am after a buck this late into the season for quite a few years. In my experience the late season is by far the hardest time to arrow a mature buck.
I am going to key in on the left over acorns that are located near some secondary bedding areas.
If you can't key in on an in woods food source just try out an observation stand for a hunt or two near a primary bedding area. This should key you in on a good setup. Unless of course you have snow on the ground then a short scouting trip will let you know everything you need to know.
Best of luck.
