    unless you own a LOT of land, that buck can be any where in PA< based on human's hunting, traveling or just out and about
    MY guess is the reason your seeing him all over is he is traveling to different food sources
    and right now there all changing FAST< fruit tree's are dropping or running out of fruit, acorns will be dropping if NOT already
    corn and beans will soon be cut, food plot clover will be puckering up as soon as we get a frost or two, leaves will be falling faster no and that means cover will change along with all the food changing
    add in bucks will be loosing there tolerance for each other, and buck dispersal .

    and BY waiting for later and the rut, your odds can go LOWER than hunting NOW when you are having him on your lands

    if you have the time, I would hunt in between the two places your getting pic';s and do some all day sits

    if your area is like MOST in PA< from here out pressure just gets MORE and more, not less?
    and that pressure and the TONS of cheaters we have here,
    can lead to hunting a ghost that has been killed by someone else

    I say HUNT him NOW< and hunt him as much as you can

    unless again, you have a LOT of land (300+ acres) and know he tends to stay on JUST your land
    then if that's the case

    follow the doe, and hunt where there at most in a few weeks?

    I have pic of him working the scrap and some play fighting with another 8 point. I bought a drip and order some plan buck urine not over the counter brand. Were not aloud to do any baiting or minerals during the season in PA. The farm is over 300 acres but it is mostly field. There are adjoin woods but owned by other people I don't know of anyone else who archery hunts it but gun season I know there are a few. Thanks for the advice I think I might put up that drip and a few more trail cameras this week to try to zero in where he is. I just going to have to be really carful not to spook him.
