other option would be to map out where and when hes going to come in and try and use him as a driver, set up some spots down wind that he may push the deer he spooks as he comes in.

Slob hunters that follow predictable patterns are often a good thing if you use them correctly. They serve as 'bumpers' that bucks move around. Figure out which route they're taking to avoid the slob and set up on that route. It's worked for me in the past on public land.
