RE: Patterned a Buck
I agree that he will be doing something different before October 1st gets here. I would start looking for what crops are going to be in the field late. I know in Illinois, a ton of deer are using bean fields right now, but they will before season starts (or shortly there after), so what food source will they (he) turn to next. Also, if the finger he is bedding in is very thick, there is a chance he will continue to bed in that. It would be very hard to sneek up on her there, he can see or smell anything coming. So that is a huge advantage to for you. You have a great starting point for getting on what sounds like a great deer, good luck and have fun chasing him.
