If your timber is mature I’d look into harvesting a portion so you have some new cutover bedding. Or at least do some small areas of hinge cuts so your property can hold some deer

This isn’t where we deer hunt. This is where we ride atvs and squirrel hunt. We shoot guns a lot in the feild he’s coming out into. Which is why I’m so surprised he’s there.

You can’t ask for permission? Bring venison as an advance on their future payments?
My family knows him. He will not let anyone hunt his property. He has all the deer and turkey. He owns thousands of acres. All just for cattle.

The best way to do this is with several trail cameras, and good maps/aerial photos.

Step 1: is to determine the direction of his entry, either by the direction he faces in the pictures or by ringing the field in cams and learning which ones he uses.

Step 2: is to start to make some assumptions on distance from bedding to your food source based on time of night. You mentioned 11pm, so it could be a LONG ways respectively.

Step 3: With him possibly far out there, I would place cameras on trails that lead to your field where they intersect your property line and try to narrow down which one he frequents. Based on the time he tends to pass those camera locations, you should know if you are in the ballpark. If you can acquire access further than your property line, you keep spreading out in each direction.
