I suspect he's using the 'property' different.

Do you use trail cameras?
If not, maybe using one is important now.
If you do, try positioning one on a travel route or 'game trail' close to the original plot. As you begin to find them (you may have to move it around) you can follow them closer to shooting light to discover their diurnal pattern. That is, the pattern they use during light change.

I suspect you will find they are using cover a greater part of the day. You just have to find out where they are WHEN you can shoot them.

If you do not use trail cameras, now is a good time to invest in one.
