Nice buck, good luck with him!  

He's worked up about something, maybe he was just sparring or running from coyotes???

There's a very good chance that he will stick around.  The majority of older bucks don't "leave" during the rut.  They just expand the size of their range to several square miles, where they will rotate between the different doe groups.  Only about 10% go completely nomadic and travel many many miles to a completely different area for the rut.

If there are a sufficient number of doe's in the area, there is no reason for a mature deer to venture out too far. As long as he feels safe.
