RE: bedding areas
If you're always seeing him after dark.....MY thinking would be I'm too far (set up) from where he's bedding. You know this....but the closer to his bedding area you can get (safely)....the better odds you have of catching him in the daylight.
Good luck to you.
A good friend here told me....."Right time - Right buck". This may or not be the right time. You have to play it the way you see it.
