Not a veteran by any means, but I am very fortunate that I can sit in just about any of my stands and see deer 90% of the time. I think in your situation scouting, scouting, and more scouting, would be of great benefit. With limited hunting time you need to be where the deer are going to be a high percentage of the time. Alot of people setup to avoid the large number of does, but in your situation I would pick a hot doe spot and hope the big boy follows.
