I will say that if sightings drop dramatically indicating lock down, it is time to get out into the open and set up in a small ditch, fence row, draw etc.
Why ?
Because often a buck will take his doe out away from the herd and just stay with her during her estrous period. I had a property in IL several years ago, that had a little swale out in a cattle pasture with a few locust trees. In a two year period, I saw 3 different big bucks take does out to that spot and just stay there. You couldn't get to them without being seen.
