Trevor Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I had a nice 8 point come into my stand on the weekend. He was on edge putting his head back and sniffing the air. He never gave me a good shot opportunity and when I did get to full draw I spooked he and he ran out into the bean field and never came back into range. After you spook a deer will it return to your hunting area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Deer memory Yes he will return but a lot of factors go into when. Younger deer will tolerate this more than older deer. It sounds like he saw you which is the worst kind of busted as opposed to hearing or smelling you. Now it sounds like he got a Whiff too which makes this about a 3rd degree burn for you. The easiest thing to remember is that unless your in the stand you don't know for sure if/when he returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
