Big bucks don't get big being dumb. That said, trying to take a monster from the ground requires doing everything right 100% and then getting lucky to have him stroll past you in shooting range. Scent control must be to the maximum, in your case I would purchase one of the shower kits on the market for this purpose, buy a small bottle of spray scent elimation, using it everytime you go out on yourself and equipment. Both of these products would run around $25.00 total. Try to take a path to your spot without crossing the buck's normal travel. In your case I would not bait him nor would I use any scent products like doe-in-heat simply because you know where he is hanging and has several does with him. Try to locate where he usually comes in/out of the corn or woods and set up closer to one of those spots. Over hunting him and spooking him will in most cases lead to him vacating your area. Good luck chasing your buck, and thats why they call it hunting.:w00t:

One more thing, if the wind direction is not in your favor do not hunt that stand, select a more wind favorable location for that night. Try not to sweat when walking to your stand, you might want to carry your outer clothing and slow walk in to your stand to keep sweat down to a mimimun. When you get to your stand site spray yourself again with the scent elimination spray.
