2 ways you will kill that buck and both of them are dependant on him making a mistake, hunting pressure or human activity has made him nocturnal, he still makes his rounds only its sometime between last light and before dawn.

If he happens upon a doe in estrus as top stated he may stick with her to win breeding rights

If he has a good night with the ladies he may stay for one last round and be forced to go to his bedding area in daylight hours.

other than those 2 reasons he will be bedded in cover by 1/2 hour before first light, chance of seeing him are slim but you won't kill him if your not in the woods.
