I agree with what everyone is saying, hunt him now.

No question, hunt him with a bow and hunt him hard. By the time the rut rolls around, it is no telling where he is going to be.
I agree with Mossy. the rut could cause him to shift ranges. i would get on him now and just watch the wind. if he is comiing out 30 minutes before dark, then you should have a pretty good idea of where he is gonna be. Again just watch the wind and your movement int he stand and you should be fine.

What do you think would happen if you spook him?
I see this question asked a lot and I always wonder how anyone would expect to kill a deer if they don't hunt him. I also always wonder what anyone thinks spooking a does. What does it make the deer do? If you wait for the rut, odds are good he will be 1/2 mile away. If the food source changes, he could still be 1/2 mile away. If you spook him, he may not go 100 yards.
You went in and hung camera, right? How do you know that didn't spook him? Then you checked the camera, right? How do you know that didn't spook him. You are on a lease with 30 other hunters. How do you know one of them didn't spook him?
The very best chance you will have to kill that buck is the first time you hunt him and the sooner you hunt him, before he changes his range for any one of a variety of reasons, the better your chance at killing him.
So you spook him. So what? You figure he will just vanish? Lets examine the scenario and see what we come up with.
1- If you shoot at him and miss, he may not come back by that stand. That is a possibilty. Now what else can happen?

I would avoid that site this weekend, but that is just me. Hunting around full moons changes alot of things and I'd hunt a seperate location until daytime activity picks up.
