There are a lot of squirrel hunters on my lease, any idea how this might affect the bucks movement? Typically nobody is bow hunting up there so I am not sure what to expect as to how it will affect him.

No way to know fro sure, be he won't like it. Try to convince them to stay away from where you believe he's bedding.

sucks.. he's going nocturnal

you usually have a week or two to get them before the start noticing bowhunting pressure. Squirrel hunters aren't worried about that and will push the deer into hiding

Squirrel hunters will definitely keep the deer moving, that may mess with your plan to kill the one you have been watching, but will definitely present you with other opportunities that you wouldn't have had. First deer I killed with bow was on opening day of squirrel season. Had heard a shot minutes before my kill, deer had come from direction of shot. Good luck!!
