How can I intercept this buck during daylight?

Question
I have a 3-3.5 year old 12 pointer on my property checking a scrape every day. BUT he only comes out around 9:55 PM. It is early bow season here in Tennessee. How can I catch him in the daytime?
Ethan,
It’s hot in southern Missouri and I assume it’s warm in Tennessee also! This time of year when it’s warm and deer have grown winter coats they tend to move primarily after dark when it’s cooler.
9:55 PM is several hours after shooting light so I doubt he’s leaving his bed much, if at all before dark. I’d wait for a cold front and then hunt this buck! Cold fronts are often the factor that triggers bucks to be active during daylight hours during mid October!
Enjoy creation,
