What do you do when you observe a buck you didn't know about

If you see a new buck either on cam or just at a distance, in season that you think may be using the property, what are your tactics for scouting him if any...maybe you saw him in a field at dark, on cam, whatever.

If I saw3 him in daylight in season, I move in for the kill... If its after dark or before season I jump around hunting the areas bedding areas till I cross paths.

And what I meant was...a new buck, one that maybe is new on the property and you don't know much about his patterns...and a this occurs in season.

He may be new but likely using the same bedding you are already familiar with(hopefully), I think is what dan is saying.

Correct... He will use the same beds as the established bucks you know about.
