OH, the problems to have..... What a dilemma! Sounds like a good place for a treestand or a ground blind if no trees available. As mentioned, a little scent might work wonders.
Tree stand. If the trees are to small a ladder type with a seat on top. Ground blind, pop up type. Back in the day when I first started bow hunting I ran into the same problem, I cut shooting lanes down wind of the scraps and sat on a stool. My buck a w/t was coming in in the middle of the day, he was on his way to a scrape about another 10ft and he was mine. Will the wind kicked up from below him, he smelled the air ran into the brush below him and pushed a doe out and went after her.
Sounds like he is really happy and feeling pretty safe to use that area so much....I would get between it and his food. Watch the wind and just hang out there...tree stand sounds good, but I have never tried one...
try rubbing a tree in his rubs and put a tarsel or forehead gland scent on the tree or trees,buck and doe scents might send him into a frenzy where he cruises that area continuosly looking for the intruder. try a brush blind and watch the wind. a buddy of mine did that and we got that buck 3 days later while he was working over an alder tree.

They make it for Blackies now. I would highly recommend a tree stand. If you can get in to it silently you will have your buck in a short time. I just bought a climber myself. Climbed up Saturday afternoon and killed a little button buck...(walking back to the car with my stand on my back of course ) You can PM me if you dont have a stand and want to use it for the rest of the season. It a pretty nice climber (Gorilla makes decent stuff).
