Default Big Buck on land.....Now what

I know there is a really big buck (several guys have seen him and estimated his score from the 160's-180's) I saw him and I personally thought he was around 160 and that was 2 years ago.

Anyways, we have 350 acres and we know he spends most of his time on our land, but we don't really know where he beds at. He has also been spotted all over the farm so were not to sure about his core area that he really hangs out in.

I was looking around one of my stands (he has been spotted twice within 100 yards of this spot) and I found many tracks coming out of a bedding area up to a cut bean field. Alot of these tracks were HUGE compared to the others around it. I set my camera up for a few days and more tracks were there, but I am waiting to get time to get the pictures developed still.

Should I hunt this stand hard over the next few days, with the go big or go home attitude? I know I will see other deer, but the big bucks usually seem to shy away from my shooting lanes here. OR should I hunt some other stands and other properties where I know I get shots at bucks, but they may not be as big?

Just curious, starting Saturday I have 7 days of bowhunting before shotgun season comes in.
