Default Big buck almost down scenario...thoughts?

So, finally last night the action picked up a bit. With our corn now freshly picked, I figured it would be a great time to try my stand on the inside corner of a finger that separates two picked fields. Well, I ended up seeing 10 deer, 4 of them bucks, and two were shooters. The last one that came out at last light was a NICE 8 point. Easily the biggest I've seen since I started archery hunting. I almost sealed the deal at 20yds, I was just waiting for him to turn, but he never did. He walked straight out and away as it faded to black. He never knew I was there, but I rustled the bow in the leaves to get four of the yearlings out of the field after he was 400yds over the rise down the field way out of sight I could barely even make them out at 20yds, and they did scatter. None blew, and I don't think they knew what it was. It's raining all day today, and it's supposed to quit by 4pm when I will want to get out in the stand. The wind is still good for this spot, and I'm wondering if you would hit it as long as the wind is good, or give it a rest? Remember, we only have three days left in the season, and I WANT a crack at that big boy, but I'm not sure if he was just randomly moving through or I might be near is core area. I've never seen him before this point, but he sure walked like he owned the place. Judging by his body size, I would say he's a solid 3.5. Thoughts?
