Another way to hunt him is not hunt him at all until he gets stupid during the pre-rut. I like that thicker pine bedding area to the west where you put "Trail to enter beanfield". Wait for a West wind when he scent checks the east side of that bedding area , and set up tight to the south/east of the bedding area to get the least amount of your scent dispersed with that west wind....as he approaches from the North. Just some thoughts.

Good luck and I hope you arrow him Jeff.
