You could get a trail camera and put it near where you suspect he is at. Then come back in a few weeks to get it and actually see what time he is moving. This way, if he is moving at dusk or dawn maybe both you can take him. I am reading a book and the author states there is no such thing as an all nocturnal buck. Hence, he is moving at some time and you need to figure out when, and the camera is a good solution IMHO.
